PSG7 - pregnancy specific beta-1-glycoprotein 7 Gene
Also Known as PSG1; PSGGA; PSBG-7; PS-beta-G-7
Species: Homo sapiens
About PSG7
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 628 orthologues and 24 paralogues. Restricted expression toward placenta (RPKM 24.2).
Summary
This gene is a member of the pregnancy-specific glycoprotein (PSG) gene family. The PSG genes are a subgroup of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family of immunoglobulin-like genes, and are found in a gene cluster at 19q13.1-q13.2 telomeric to another cluster of CEA-related genes. The PSG genes are expressed by placental trophoblasts and released into the maternal circulation during pregnancy, and are thought to be essential for maintenance of normal pregnancy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
