Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone; in its crystal structure each of its two subunits folds around a cystine knot, and a segment of the beta subunit wraps around the alpha subunit like a seat belt.

Evidence, kept apart

The Atlas never mixes evidence types into one blob. Each claim below carries the tier it actually sits in; an unresolved citation is shown and does not move the page.
