Description
Overview
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone composed of 237 amino acids
with a molecular mass of approximately 36.7 kDa. It consists of an alpha (α) subunit shared with
luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH),
and a beta (β) subunit unique to HCG that confers biological specificity.
HCG interacts with the LH/CG receptor and is extensively studied in endocrine and reproductive
research models. In vitro investigations explore its role in steroidogenesis signaling,
gonadal receptor activation pathways, trophoblastic cell biology, and hormone-mediated cellular
differentiation processes.
This vial contains 5000 International Units (IU) of lyophilized HCG prepared for advanced laboratory
research applications requiring controlled hormonal pathway analysis.
