Cga - glycoprotein hormones, alpha subunit Gene

Also Known as HCG; LHA; FSHA; Tsha; aGSU; GPHA1; alphaSU; CG-alpha; GPHalpha; alphaGSU; alpha-GSU

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 12640

Summary

Predicted to enable follicle-stimulating hormone activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including gonadotropin secretion; thyroid gland development; and thyroid hormone generation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be part of follicle-stimulating hormone complex. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in brain; future pituitary; and retina nuclear layer. Orthologous to human CGA (glycoprotein Hormones, alpha polypeptide). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
