CSH2

CSH2 (Chorionic Somatomammotropin Hormone 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CSH2 include Choriocarcinoma and Testicular Trophoblastic Tumor. Among its related pathways are Jak-STAT signaling pathway (KEGG) and Peptide ligand-binding receptors. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include hormone activity. An important paralog of this gene is CSH1.

Chorionic Somatomammotropin Hormone 2

Produced only during pregnancy and is involved in stimulating lactation, fetal growth and metabolism. Does not interact with GHR but only activates PRLR through zinc-induced dimerization.
