Description

HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) | Research Grade Glycoprotein

We offer high-purity Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone essential for endocrinology and reproductive biology research. This product is supplied as a lyophilized powder, standardized by biological activity (International Units), to ensure maximum potency and consistency for sensitive in-vitro applications.

HCG is composed of an alpha subunit, which is common to other glycoprotein hormones like LH and FSH, and a unique beta subunit that confers its specific biological action. It functions as a potent agonist of the Luteinizing Hormone/Chorionic Gonadotropin (LHCGR) receptor. HCG is a critical tool for scientists conducting laboratory studies on receptor activation, steroidogenesis, and the complex signaling pathways involved in reproductive cell biology.
