HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) – Research Peptide
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein hormone produced during early pregnancy that acts on luteinizing hormone (LH) receptors. As a research compound it is used to study LH-receptor signaling, gonadotropin pathways, testosterone biosynthesis in Leydig cell models, and ovarian function research.
Research Context
HCG is an important reference compound for endocrine research, particularly in studies examining the HPG (hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal) axis, steroidogenesis, and fertility-related signaling. It binds with high affinity to LH/CG receptors on target tissues.
