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.
