HCG, beta (CGB3, CGB5, CGB7, CGB8, hCGB, Choriogonadotropin subunit beta)

b-HCG (b-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, b-HCG is unique in that it contains an extension of 29 amino acids at its COOH end. b-HCG is mapped to 19q13.32 and expressed in trophoblast and various malignant tumors promotes cellular motility in vivo. b-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. \n\nUniProt Number:\nHuman(P01233)\n\nGene ID:\nCGB\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin).\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at -20?C for one year.
