Description
HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) | Glycoprotein Hormone – Research Peptide
Human chorionic gonadotropin is a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone composed of an alpha subunit shared with LH, FSH and TSH, paired with a distinct beta subunit. It is widely used as a reference ligand in reproductive-endocrinology and receptor-signaling research.
Laboratory work has examined its binding at the LH/CG receptor, the resulting adenylate cyclase activation, and the influence of its extensive glycosylation on receptor affinity and clearance in model systems.
Common research applications: gonadotropin receptor assays, reproductive endocrinology models, and glycoprotein structure-function research.
