HCG

HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, CAS 9002-61-3) is a glycoprotein hormone supplied in lyophilised form for laboratory and analytical research use only. It is a heterodimer composed of an alpha subunit shared with LH, FSH and TSH, and a unique beta subunit that confers its biological specificity.

Research background

HCG is characterised in the literature as a luteinising hormone (LH) receptor agonist. Its structural homology with LH makes it a widely used reference compound in reproductive endocrinology research, gonadotropin receptor signalling studies and steroidogenesis models. Investigators typically study it in the context of LH/CG receptor pharmacology, Leydig and granulosa cell signalling, and comparative glycoprotein hormone activity.

Testing and verification

Every batch is independently analysed by a third-party laboratory to confirm identity and potency. Each lot is assigned a unique batch identifier and published with its corresponding Certificate of Analysis on our Lab Results page, so the exact paperwork for the batch you receive can be reviewed before a vial is ever opened.

Handling and storage

Supplied lyophilised for stability in transit. Store the sealed vial cold and protected from light. Standard laboratory handling practices apply.
