The free monomeric beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG beta) and the recently identified homodimeric beta-beta subunit (hCG beta beta) both have autocrine growth effects

Butler, Stephen A. and Iles, Ray K. (2004) The free monomeric beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG beta) and the recently identified homodimeric beta-beta subunit (hCG beta beta) both have autocrine growth effects.

Abstract

Following two earlier articles on hCGbeta bioactivity (Butler et al, 2000) and dimerisation (Butler et al., 1999) this article explores the role of the two molecular forms of hCGbeta as the biologically active form of hCG in oncology.
