Function of Glycoprotein

Introduction

Thyrotropin (TSH) and gonadotropins; follitropin (FSH), lutropin (LH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) are a family of heterodimeric glycoprotein hormones. These hormones are composed of two noncovalently linked subunits, a and ß common hormone-specific units.

Discussion

One of the most remarkable results of the inventory in the Arabidopsis thaliana genome is the identification of a large number of putative ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes (> 120) compared to the number (not green, similar50) seen in other multicellular organisms, a comparable size of the genome. A similar number of ABC transporter genes have been identified in Oryza Sativa ...
