HCG
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone studied for its LH-receptor agonism and its role in gonadal steroidogenesis research.
Research Applications
- LH receptor signalling and steroidogenesis studies
- Reproductive endocrinology research models
- Testicular and ovarian function research
Compound Information
Glycoprotein hormone, LH receptor agonist. Supplied as lyophilised powder, measured in IU.
Technical Specifications
hCG is a large glycoprotein hormone (~237 residues across two subunits, ~36.7 kDa) rather than a single small-molecule peptide, so a simple molecular formula does not apply.
