This gene is a member of the glycoprotein hormone beta chain family and encodes the beta 3 subunit of chorionic gonadotropin (CG). Glycoprotein hormones are heterodimers consisting of a common alpha subunit and an unique beta subunit which confers biological specificity. CG is produced by the trophoblastic cells of the placenta and stimulates the ovaries to synthesize the stero... See more...

Entrez Gene Summary for CGB3 Gene

  • This gene is a member of the glycoprotein hormone beta chain family and encodes the beta 3 subunit of chorionic gonadotropin (CG). Glycoprotein hormones are heterodimers consisting of a common alpha subunit and an unique beta subunit which confers biological specificity. CG is produced by the trophoblastic cells of the placenta and stimulates the ovaries to synthesize the steroids that are essential for the maintenance of pregnancy. The beta subunit of CG is encoded by 6 genes which are arranged in tandem and inverted pairs on chromosome 19q13.3 and contiguous with the luteinizing hormone beta subunit gene.

GeneCards Summary for CGB3 Gene

CGB3 (Chorionic Gonadotropin Subunit Beta 3) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CGB3 include Ectopic Pregnancy and Endodermal Sinus Tumor. Among its related pathways are Peptide hormone metabolism and Gene Expression. An important paralog of this gene is CGB5.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary for CGB3 Gene

  • Beta subunit of the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). hCG is a complex glycoprotein composed of two glycosylated subunits alpha and beta which are non-covalently associated. The alpha subunit is identical to those in the pituitary gonadotropin hormones (LH, FSH and TSH). The beta subunits are distinct in each of the hormones and confer receptor and biological specificity. Has an essential role in pregnancy and maternal adaptation. Stimulates the ovaries to synthesize the steroids that are essential for the maintenance of pregnancy.

    • Encoded by a cluster of genes that have evolved by duplication from LHB. HCG-beta is encoded by six non-allelic genes (CGB) clustered on chromosome 19q13.3 and named CGB1, CGB2, CGB3, CGB5, CGB7 and CGB8. Two specific hCGb proteins that differ by three amino acids in positions 2,4 and 117 have been described: type 1 (CGB7) and type 2 (CGB3, CGB5, CGB8). The CGB gene first arose in the common ancestor of the anthropoid primates.
