protein family
[Superfamily, evalue = 8.69e-03]cl21545, Glycoprotein hormone beta chain homologues ;This family of cystine-knot hormones includes the beta chains of gonadotropins, thyrotropins, follitropins, choriogonadotropins and more. The members are reproductive hormones that consist of two glycosylated chains (alpha and beta), which form a tightly bound dimer.
