CC   -!- FUNCTION: Shared alpha chain of heterodimeric glycoprotein hormones.
CC       These hormones bind specific receptors on target cells that in turn
CC       activate downstream signaling pathways. Involved in gametogenesis and
CC       steroidogenesis. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P37204}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Heterodimer. Glycoprotein hormones are heterodimers composed
CC       of a common alpha chain described here and a unique beta chain which
CC       confers their biological specificity to the different hormones.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P37204}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P37204}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the glycoprotein hormones subunit alpha family.
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
