    The α-Subunit of the Glycoprotein Hormones: Evolution of a Combinatorial Code for Placenta-Specific Expression

    Luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), andchorionic gonadotropin (CG) belong to a family of glycoprotein hormones. Each member is compose...

    Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Placenta- and Pituitary-Specific Expression of the Glycoprotein Hormone α-Subunit Gene

    All vertebrates synthesize three different pituitary glycoprotein hormones: luteinizing hormone (lutropin, LH), follicle stimulating hormone (folli-tropin, FSH), and thyroid stimulating hormone (thyrotropin, TSH)...

    Expression by Transgenic Mouse Placenta of a Human Placental Hormone, the β-Subunit of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin

    Chorionic gonadotropin (CG) is a member of a family of glycoprotein hormones that includeslutropin (LH), follitropin, and thyrotropin. The 4 hormones are heterodimers with a common α-subunit and ...

    Estradiol Inhibition of Expression of the Human Glycoprotein Hormone α-Subunit Gene Through an ERE-Independent Mechanism

    The α-subunit comprises one-half of all glycoprotein hormones. Expression of the α-subunit gene occurs in a variety of cell types (gonadotrophs, thyrotrophs, and syncytiotrophoblasts) and is regulated by a mul...
