Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * The CGA gene is located on chromosome 17q21.1. * It is a large gene (2.3 Mb) that encodes a protein of 548 amino acids. * The protein is a glycoprotein hormone that is secreted by cells in the body. * It is a member of the glycoprotein hormones family. **Pathways and functions:** * The CGA protein is involved in the regulation of fetal development. * It is expressed in high levels in the trophoblast cells of early pregnancy. * The protein is thought to play a role in maintaining the integrity of the placenta and in the regulation of fetal growth and development. * The CGA protein has also been shown to have a role in asthma and other inflammatory diseases. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in the CGA gene have been linked to a number of human diseases, including preeclampsia, placenta previa, and fetal growth restriction. * The CGA gene is a potential target for the treatment of these diseases. **Additional information:** * The CGA gene is also known as GSHA. * The protein is a glycoprotein, which means that it contains a carbohydrate molecule attached to a protein. * The CGA protein is a potent activator of the G protein-coupled receptor Gpr1. * The protein is also a substrate for the enzyme carboxypeptidase-A.
