HCG

Description

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone studied for its luteinizing-hormone-like activity on gonadal tissue. For laboratory research use only.

Human chorionic gonadotropin is a glycoprotein hormone that mimics luteinizing hormone by binding the LH/hCG receptor on Leydig and granulosa cells. In research settings it is used as a tool to study steroidogenesis, gonadal function, and the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, including models of testosterone production and ovulation induction pathways. Because of its long half-life and potent receptor activity, it is a common reference agonist in reproductive endocrinology research. Supplied as a lyophilized powder for in-vitro and laboratory research use only; not for human or veterinary use.

This product is supplied as a lyophilized powder and is intended for laboratory and research use only. Not for human consumption. Each vial contains 10,000 IU of research-grade material.
