Regulation of human chorionic gonadotropin beta subunit expression in ovarian cancer [PDF]
BMC Cancer, 2019 Purpose Expression of human chorionic gonadotropin beta subunit by cancers is extensively documented, yet regulation of the multiple genes that can code for this protein is poorly understood.

Reduction of human chorionic gonadotropin beta subunit expression by modified U1 snRNA caused apoptosis in cervical cancer cells [PDF]
Molecular Cancer, 2008 Background Secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin, especially its beta subunit by malignant trophoblastic tumors and varieties of tumors of different origin is now well documented; however the role of hCG in tumorogenesis is still unknown.

Ectopic Production of the Isolated Beta Subunit of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1973 A material similar to the beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG-beta) was detected in serum (300 ng/ml) and tumor extract from a 75-yr-old man with pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma. This material was indistinguishable from hCG-beta in three different types of radioimmunoassay that displayed widely varying reactions with glycoprotein ...
