Product Description

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone. Its α subunit is shared with luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and thyroid-stimulating hormone; its β subunit provides hCG-specific structural features. hCG is studied as a ligand of the luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR). Activity is expressed in international units (IU), rather than inferred from peptide mass.
