Each vial ships with specification data and lot identifiers for the hormone preparation, plus a Certificate of Analysis documenting potency and identity. Ready for the bench. HCG is a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone verified by immunological assay with potency confirmed in standard bioactivity assays. Potency, identity, and endotoxin testing are documented on the signed Certificate of Analysis that ships with your vial.
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone produced by syncytiotrophoblast cells during pregnancy. It shares an alpha subunit with luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), while its unique beta subunit confers LHCGR-specific binding.
hCG acts at the LH/hCG receptor (LHCGR), stimulating Leydig cell testosterone production in males and maintaining corpus luteum progesterone secretion in females. Research applications include male hypogonadism models, fertility signaling research, and Leydig cell steroidogenesis protocols in vitro. Preparations of hCG are derived from the urine of pregnant women (urinary hCG) or produced via recombinant expression systems.
