HCG (10000iu)

In Stock

Nomenclature & Synonyms

Chorionic Gonadotropin; commonly abbreviated as HCG. It is a glycoprotein hormone composed of alpha and beta subunits, predominantly characterized in human pregnancy. No specific research codes or development codes are associated with the basic glycoprotein.

Structural Characteristics

HCG is a heterodimeric protein composed of two non-covalently linked subunits: the alpha subunit (92 amino acids) shared with other hormones like LH, FSH, and TSH, and the beta subunit (145 amino acids) which is unique to HCG. The beta subunit contains distinct segments: H-Trp-Met-Ser-Glu-His-Ile-Thr-Arg-Tyr-Leu-... and features specific disulfide bridges essential for activity and stability.

Molecular Pharmacology

HCG acts as an agonist to the luteinizing hormone/chorionic gonadotropin receptor (LHCG receptor). Binding of HCG to its receptor activates pathways such as the cAMP/PKA signaling cascade, promoting steroidogenesis. EC50 values are variable based on assay and cellular system but are indicative of potent agonist activity.

Research Applications

  • Studies have demonstrated HCG's role in cellular signaling pathways involved in reproduction.
  • Has been shown to regulate multiple processes in the ovarian and placental function in in vitro studies.

Technical Properties

HCG is soluble in sterile water at concentrations of 1mg/mL for research applications. Upon reconstitution, the solution must be stored at 2-8°C and is stable for up to 24 hours. Lyophilized HCG remains stable at -20°C until reconstitution.

Compliance

For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use. Not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or preventive applications.
