The alpha subunits of these four human glycoprotein hormones are identical; however, their beta chains are unique and confer biological specificity.

[6] CGA levels are regulated by ELAVL1/HuR, and the small molecule Eltrombopag, which targets HuR/RNA interactions, has been shown to reduce CGA levels in human cultured cells.
