Specifications
Target Information
Feline glycoprotein hormones alpha chain (CGA) is a common subunit shared by several glycoprotein hormones, including thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and chorionic gonadotropin (CG). In cats, CGA plays a crucial role in the formation of these hormones by combining with unique beta subunits to form active heterodimers. These hormones regulate key physiological processes such as thyroid function, reproductive health, and gonadal development. The study of CGA in felines is essential for understanding endocrine disorders like hyperthyroidism and developing specific diagnostic tools and treatments.
