NCIt definition : Human CGB3 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 19q13.33 and is approximately
26 kb in length. This allele, which encodes choriogonadotropin subunit beta protein,
plays a role in gestation. The gene is essential for the production of steroids that
are responsible for the maintenance of pregnancy.;
NCIt note : The beta subunit of choriogonadotropin is encoded by 6 genes which are arranged in
tandem and inverted pairs on chromosome 19q13.3 and contiguous with the luteinizing
hormone beta subunit gene. (Entrez Gene);
