About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for CGB8: This gene is a member of the glycoprotein hormone beta chain family and encodes the beta 8 subunit of chorionicgonadotropin (CG). Glycoprotein hormones are heterodimers consisting of a common alpha subunit and an unique betasubunit which confers biological specificity. CG is produced by the trophoblastic cells of the placenta and stimulatesthe ovaries to synthesize the steroids that are essential for the maintenance of pregnancy. The beta subunit of CG isencoded by 6 genes which are arranged in tandem and inverted pairs on chromosome 19q13.3 and contiguous with theluteinizing hormone beta subunit gene. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CGHB_HUMAN, P01233Function: Stimulates the ovaries to synthesize the steroids that are essential for the maintenance of pregnancy
