Product Details

Description:
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a polypeptide hormone produced by the placental syncytiotrophoblasts. It acts as an analogue to Luteinizing Hormone (LH), sharing the exact same α-subunit while possessing a distinct β-subunit that confers receptor specificity.

In a research context, HCG is used primarily to investigate the signaling pathways of the LH/CGR (Luteinizing Hormone/Choriogonadotropin Receptor). It serves as a vital tool in in vitro models of steroidogenesis, allowing researchers to study the upregulation of cAMP and the subsequent production of sex steroids (such as testosterone or progesterone) in Leydig or granulosa cell cultures.
