hCG

Description

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a naturally occurring glycoprotein hormone best known for its role during pregnancy. Structurally and functionally, hCG shares important characteristics with luteinizing hormone and interacts with the LH/CG receptor.

Research involving hCG encompasses reproductive endocrinology, gonadal steroidogenesis, ovarian and testicular function, and receptor-mediated endocrine signaling. Because of its interaction with the LH/CG receptor, hCG is an important experimental compound for studying reproductive hormone pathways.

hCG is distinct from the synthetic peptide products in this catalog because it is a naturally occurring glycoprotein hormone rather than a conventional synthetic research peptide.

Our product is supplied as a lyophilized material in a 3 mL vial and is available in 5,000 IU and 10,000 IU configurations. BAC Saline is specified as the supplied diluent.
