T3 rapidly regulates several steps of alpha subunit glycoprotein (CGA) synthesis and secretion in the pituitary of male rats: Potential repercussions on TSH, FSH and LH secretion.

Bargi-Souza P1, Romano RM1, Goulart-Silva F1, Brunetto EL1, Nunes MT2.
Molecular and cellular endocrinology.Mol Cell Endocrinol.2015 Jul 5;409:73-81. doi: 10.1016/j.mce.2015.04.002. Epub 2015 Apr 11.
TSH, FSH and LH share the same glycoprotein alpha chain (CGA) as part of their protein structure. Therefore, it is possible that thyroid and gonadal dysfunction may affect the CGA expression. This study evaluated several steps of CGA synthesis and secretion in thyrotrophs and gonadotrophs of control

Journal of biotechnology.J Biotechnol.2015 Jun 20;204:63-9. doi: 10.1016/j.jbiotec.2014.12.005. Epub 2014 Dec 18.
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone that exists as a heterodimer with a α subunit and β subunit assembled together with disulfide bridges. This hormone plays an important role in the detection of ovulation induction and in the treatment of certain diseases that cause femal

Molecular cloning and characterization of gonadotropin subunits (GTHα, FSHβ and LHβ) and their regulation by hCG and GnRHa in Japanese sea bass (Lateolabrax japonicas) in vivo.

Fish physiology and biochemistry.Fish Physiol Biochem.2015 Jun;41(3):587-601. doi: 10.1007/s10695-014-9992-x. Epub 2015 Mar 1.
In this study, three cDNA sequences encoding common glycoprotein α subunit (GTHα), follicle-stimulating hormone β subunit (FSHβ) and luteinizing hormone β subunit (LHβ) were isolated from Japanese sea bass (Lateolabrax japonicas). Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences with other gonad

Regulation of Porcine Pituitary Glycoprotein Hormone Alpha Subunit Gene with LIM-Homeobox Transcription Factor Lhx3

Cofactor CLIM2 promotes the repressive action of LIM homeodomain transcription factor Lhx2 in the expression of porcine pituitary glycoprotein hormone alpha subunit gene
