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.

A claim's standing is its latest row in an append-only history; a tombstone names the later evidence and the reason. The Graveyard and the Resurrection Yard.
