choriogonadotropin subunit beta variant 2 (CGB2)

Structure: - belongs to the glycoprotein hormones subunit beta family - does not have any homology with the functional beta-subunit this change has been caused by an inserted DNA fragment within the 5'-UTR of CGB2 providing a novel exon 1 as well as a 1 bp shifted ORF for exons 2 & 3 Compartment: secreted Alternative splicing: named isoforms=2 Expression: expressed in placenta, testis & pituitary
