PSG7
gene geneOn this page
Summary
PSG7 (pregnancy specific beta-1-glycoprotein 7, HGNC:9524) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19q13.31, encoding Pregnancy-specific beta-1-glycoprotein 7 (Q13046).
This gene is a member of the pregnancy-specific glycoprotein (PSG) gene family. The PSG genes are a subgroup of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family of immunoglobulin-like genes, and are found in a gene cluster at 19q13.1-q13.2 telomeric to another cluster of CEA-related genes. The PSG genes are expressed by placental trophoblasts and released into the maternal circulation during pregnancy, and are thought to be essential for maintenance of normal pregnancy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
