Biological Activities of Tethered Equine Chorionic Gonadotropin (eCG) and Its Deglycosylated Mutants
초록
Equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG), which consists of highly glycosylated α- and β-subunits, is a unique member of the gonadotropin family because it elicits response characteristics of both follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in other species than the horse. To determine whether α and β subunits can be synthesized as a single polypeptide chain (tethered-eCG) and also display biological activity, the tethered-eCG molecule was constructed and transfected into Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells.
