HCG

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin

Glycoprotein hormone composed of alpha and beta subunits. Acts as a luteinizing-hormone (LH) analogue at the LH/CG receptor, stimulating gonadal steroidogenesis in research models.

Mechanism of Action

hCG is a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone whose beta-subunit confers specificity for the LH/CG receptor (LHCGR). Receptor activation drives cAMP/PKA signalling and gonadal steroidogenesis (testosterone in Leydig cells; progesterone in luteal cells) in research models. Its long half-life reflects extensive glycosylation.

Research Protocol Reference

For laboratory research use only — not for human or veterinary use.

💧
Reconstitution
Add sterile bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol) slowly against the vial wall. Gently swirl — do not vortex. Allow 5 min for complete dissolution.
🧊
Storage
Store solution-phase at -20°C. Post-reconstitution: maintain at 2–8°C, use within 28 days. Protect from light. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
📐
Administration
SubQ or IM administration in standard research protocols. Insulin syringe recommended for precise dosing. Refer to published literature for compound-specific protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HCG?
hCG is a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone (alpha/beta glycoprotein heterodimer (not a linear peptide)) the glycoprotein hormone human chorionic gonadotropin. Research applications: reproductive-endocrinology and steroidogenesis studies. Research use only.
How is Mindtek HCG produced?
Synthesised via solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). Each batch: HPLC purity verification (≥99.3%), mass spectrometry identity, endotoxin testing prior to release.
Storage requirements?
Store solution-phase HCG at -20°C. Post-reconstitution with sterile BAC water: 2–8°C, use within 28 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
