HCG
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein hormone studied in endocrine research for its interaction with luteinizing hormone receptors and reproductive signaling pathways [1,2].
This peptide is for research purposes only. Not for human consumption.
Description
Hormone Receptor Interaction
HCG binds to LH receptors, allowing researchers to study receptor activation, signal transduction, and downstream endocrine responses [1].
Reproductive Signaling Research
Experimental models explore HCG’s role in steroidogenesis, gonadal signaling, and reproductive hormone regulation [2].
Molecular Structure and Function
HCG’s heterodimeric structure makes it useful for studying glycoprotein hormone stability and receptor specificity [1].
