HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Research Protein
HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a glycoprotein hormone of α and β subunits that activates the LH/choriogonadotropin receptor, quantified in IU.

About HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)
Human chorionic gonadotropin is a heterodimeric glycoprotein. Its α subunit is shared with LH, FSH and TSH, while its β subunit is unique and heavily glycosylated, which gives hCG a longer half-life than LH. It is produced mainly by the placenta.
hCG acts on the same receptor as luteinizing hormone, the LH/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR). Preparations are either extracted from urine or produced recombinantly and are quantified in international units of biological activity.
Research context
HCG is used in research on LHCGR signaling, steroidogenesis in Leydig and granulosa cells and ovarian and testicular function in animal models, and as a reference reagent in gonadotropin assays.
HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is also the active ingredient of licensed pharmaceutical products in some markets. The material listed here is supplied for laboratory research only; it is not a pharmaceutical product and must not be used as one.

HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin): frequently asked questions
Why is HCG measured in IU?
Glycoprotein hormones vary in glycosylation, so they are standardized by biological activity against international reference preparations rather than by mass alone.
Which HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) presentations are listed?
2 presentations are listed: 5,000 IU (G5K), 10,000 IU (G10K). Each is packed 10 vials per box, and every presentation has its own specification page and product code.
How do I request a quote for HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)?
Open the presentation you need and use Ask price to message PureForm Biosciences on WhatsApp, or add several materials to the inquiry cart and send them together. Pricing, current availability and lot documents are confirmed in that conversation.
