Chorionic Gonadotropin, beta Subunit, Human

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: The beta subunit of human CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN. Its structure is similar to the beta subunit of LUTEINIZING HORMONE, except for the additional 30 amino acids at the carboxy end with the associated carbohydrate residues. HCG-beta is used as a diagnostic marker for early detection of pregnancy, spontaneous abortion (ABORTION, SPONTANEOUS); ECTOPIC PREGNANCY; HYDATIDIFORM MOLE; CHORIOCARCINOMA; or DOWN SYNDROME.      Other names HCG, beta Subunit; Chorionic Gonadotropin, beta Polypeptide, Human; Chorionic Gonadotropin, beta Chain, Human; HCG beta; Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, beta Subunit; HCG-beta
