Beta-HCG secretion by a pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma: A case report
Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2021 Ectopic secretion of beta-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) in pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma is remarkably rare. Such unusual ectopic hormone production by lung cancer may be initially misinterpreted as extragonadal choriocarcinoma or ...

A case of gynecomastia from a βhCG secreting bladder tumour
Journal of Clinical and Translational Endocrinology Case Reports, 2019 Background: Beta human chorionic gonadotropin (βhCG) is a glycoprotein secreted by trophoblastic cells during gestation. Various solid epithelial cancers can raise levels of βhCG and can cause gynecomastia. There are a few case reports that show elevated

Immunoreactive human chorionic gonadotropin and its free ß-subunit in serum and ascites of patients with malignant tumors [PDF]
, 1992 Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a clinically relevant marker of trophoblastic and nontrophoblastic malignancies. In the present studies, in addition to determining serum hCG, we investigated the presence and properties of hCG immunoreactivity in ...

Interaction of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) and Asialo-hCG with Recombinant Human Thyrotropin Receptor. [PDF]
, 1994 hCG is a putative thyroid stimulator. The present studies were undertaken to examine its interaction and that of its desialylated variant asialo-hCG with recombinant human TSH (hTSH) receptor (hTSHr). To this end, we transfected a human thyroid carcinoma

Assignment of disulfide bonds in the beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1980 The assignment of five disulfide bonds in the alpha subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) using partial reduction and S-[14C]carboxymethylation has been reported earlier (Mise, T., and Bahl, O. P. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 8516-8522). Employing a similar approach, we have determined the locations of six disulfide bonds in hCG-beta.
