HCG – Research-Grade Lyophilized Glycoprotein Hormone
For Laboratory Use Only – Not for Human or Veterinary Application
Product Overview
HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a recombinant glycoprotein hormone composed of 244 amino acids. It is studied in preclinical and in vitro research models for its role in gonadotropin receptor signaling, endocrine feedback mechanisms, and steroidogenesis pathways.
This product is supplied as a lyophilized powder to support accurate reconstitution and consistent application in laboratory studies. It is not approved for clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, or dietary use.

Research Applications
HCG is examined in regulated lab environments for:
- Gonadotropin receptor signaling studies
- Hypothalamic-pituitary axis modeling
- In vitro analysis of luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) activation
- Feedback regulation of hormone signaling pathways
- Steroidogenesis evaluation in Leydig and granulosa cell assays
All applications are investigational and limited to qualified research facilities.
Mechanistic Context (Preclinical)
HCG mimics endogenous luteinizing hormone (LH) and interacts with the luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR), activating:
- cAMP-mediated protein kinase A (PKA) signaling
- Upregulation of steroidogenic enzymes in target cells
- Receptor-specific endocrine signaling pathways
These mechanisms are studied in controlled laboratory assays only.
Handling & Laboratory Use
- Reconstitute under sterile conditions with bacteriostatic water
- Follow institutional biosafety protocols and use appropriate PPE
- Do not subject reconstituted solution to freeze–thaw cycles
- Clearly label all working solutions and document use in SOP logs
