Advanced techniques have brought great success in purification and characterization of glycoprotein hormones. The human glycoprotein hormones, such as luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) are all composed of a protein core derived from two non-identical alpha and beta subunits, with branched carbohydrate side chains radically attached to asparagine, serines, and/or threonine. In contrast to the essentially identical or nearly identical amino acid sequence among the α-subunits, the biological properties of native hormones are greatly contributed by the β-subunit (which also carries specific antigenic sites) and are structurally unique for each species. Antisera generated to the β-subunit of hCG discriminate comparatively well between hLH and hCG, while most of those derived from intact hormones do not (Amir, 1972).
