Abstract excerpt
Single chain variants of the heterodimeric gonadotropins were engineered by tethering the genes of the individual subunits into one polypeptide. In tethered human (h) gonadotropins, the carboxyl terminal peptide (CTP) of the choriogonadotropin (CG) beta subunit serves as an effective linker to enhance the secretion of the analogs compared to variants lacking the CTP. The gonadotropin subunits of non-primate,...
