Description
Background
β-HCG (β-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin), also termed as Chorionic Gonadotropin, Beta Chain (CGB). It is encoded by a multigene cluster composed of six homologous sequences. And in the family of beta-containing glycoprotein hormones, β-HCG is unique in that it contains an extension of 29 amino acids at its COOH end. β-HCG is mapped to 19q13.32 and expressed in trophoblast and various malignant tumors promotes cellular motility in vivo. β-HCG has a novel function in uterine adaptation to early pregnancy as well as in tumor development and underline the importance of HCG as an as yet unrecognized angiogenic factor.
