HCG

HCG Research Material — Buy HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) (≥97% Purity)

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone widely used across reproductive endocrinology research. Structurally similar to luteinizing hormone (LH), it is one of the most established compounds in hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis research.

Mechanism of Action

HCG acts as an LH-receptor agonist. In male reproductive research models, it stimulates Leydig cell steroidogenesis and testosterone production, and is studied for its role in maintaining testicular function and spermatogenic signaling. In broader endocrinology research, it serves as a key tool for probing HPG axis feedback mechanisms.

Research Applications

• HPG axis and steroidogenesis pathway research
• Leydig cell function and testosterone production studies
• Testicular function and spermatogenesis signaling models
• Reproductive endocrinology research
• Gonadotropin receptor pharmacology studies
