Background Information
Beta-hCG (beta-human chorionic gonadotropin) is a glycoprotein hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. It is a critical marker used in both obstetrics and oncology for various diagnostic and monitoring purposes. hCG is composed of two subunits: an alpha subunit (similar to other glycoprotein hormones like LH, FSH, and TSH) and a unique beta subunit (β-hCG). The beta subunit is the primary focus for diagnostic tests due to its specificity. β-hCG is initially secreted by the syncytiotrophoblast cells surrounding the developing embryo and later by the placenta.
