Cga - glycoprotein hormones, alpha polypeptide

Predicted to enable follicle-stimulating hormone activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of steroid biosynthetic process; regulation of signaling receptor activity; and thyroid hormone generation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including gonadotropin secretion; negative regulation of organ growth; and thyroid gland development. Predicted to be part of follicle-stimulating hormone complex. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to human CGA (glycoprotein hormones, alpha polypeptide).
