hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone used in research as a high-affinity agonist of the LH/CG receptor (LHCGR) to study gonadotropin receptor pharmacology, cAMP-linked signaling, and steroidogenesis-related pathway outputs.
Research class: Glycoprotein hormone (α/β heterodimer)
Subunit composition: α-subunit ~92 aa + β-subunit ~145 aa (β is the unique CG subunit)
Approx. molecular mass: ~36.7 kDa (glycosylation-dependent)
CAS (intact hCG preparation): 9002-61-3
Deprecated CAS (seen in some catalogs): 11130-48-6, 53321-48-5
UNII: 20ED16GHEB
Common research endpoints: LHCGR binding/activation, cAMP/PKA pathway readouts, steroidogenic gene-expression markers, and receptor desensitization/internalization metrics
For research use only. Not for therapeutic or diagnostic applications.
