HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) – Research Grade Peptide Hormone

Overview

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a naturally occurring glycoprotein hormone composed of two subunits (alpha and beta) that plays a critical role in endocrine signaling. It is structurally and functionally similar to Luteinizing Hormone (LH), allowing it to interact with LH receptors and stimulate hormone production in research models.

HCG has been extensively studied in endocrinology, reproductive biology, and metabolic research due to its ability to influence gonadal hormone production and cellular signaling pathways.

This compound is supplied exclusively for laboratory research purposes.

Mechanism of Action

HCG binds to luteinizing hormone (LH) receptors located primarily in gonadal tissue, triggering intracellular signaling pathways that regulate hormone synthesis and cellular activity.

Key mechanisms studied include:

• Activation of LH receptors

• Stimulation of testosterone production in research models

• Regulation of steroidogenesis pathways

• Influence on gonadal endocrine function

• Modulation of reproductive hormone signaling

Its structural similarity to LH makes it a reliable tool for studying endocrine system regulation.

Research Applications

HCG is widely used in laboratory and scientific research involving:

• Endocrine system function studies

• Hormone signaling pathway research

• Reproductive biology models

• Gonadal function and steroidogenesis research

• Metabolic and hormonal regulation studies

• Cellular receptor binding and activation analysis

Its predictable receptor activity and well-documented biological profile make it a valuable research compound.
