HCG

This material is provided for controlled laboratory research and analytical characterization only.

HCG exerts its biological effects through binding to and activation of the luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR), a G-protein coupled receptor (specifically Gs-coupled) that is predominantly expressed on gonadal cells including Leydig cells in the testes, theca cells and corpus luteum cells in the ovaries, and to a lesser extent in other tissues.

Published nonclinical literature relevant to this material's molecular targets and experimental models is listed below for independent review. Findings involving other preparations or experimental systems should not be attributed to this research material.

This material is supplied solely for in vitro and other nonclinical laboratory research. It is not for human or veterinary use, consumption, administration, therapeutic use, or diagnostic use.
