HCG 10,000 IU – High-Potency Glycoprotein Hormone Standard

Buy HCG in Canada – High-Purity Reference Standard for LHCGR & Steroidogenesis Research

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a specialized heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone that shares an identical $\alpha$ subunit with LH, FSH, and TSH, while possessing a unique 145-amino acid $\beta$ subunit responsible for its distinct receptor specificity and markedly extended half-life. Operating as a potent agonist of the shared LH/CG transmembrane receptor (LHCGR), HCG activates adenylate cyclase via $G\alpha_s$ coupling, driving rapid intracellular $cAMP$ synthesis and protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation cascades. In reproductive and endocrine laboratory models, HCG is widely utilized to examine Leydig cell intratesticular testosterone synthesis, follicular maturation kinetics, and the maintenance of gonadal cell survival pathways during neuroendocrine suppression. For Canadian academic institutions and analytical laboratories investigating gonadotropic receptor affinity, steroidogenic enzyme kinetics (including StAR and CYP17A1), and endocrine axis preservation, North Vital Labs supplies analytical-grade HCG 10,000 IU backed by comprehensive third-party testing.

Primary Research Applications

• LHCGR Binding Kinetics & Signal Transduction: Serves as a standard molecular tool to investigate G protein-coupled receptor activation, $cAMP$ accumulation, and intracellular calcium flux.

• Leydig Cell Steroidogenesis Pathways: Facilitates laboratory evaluation of steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein expression, cholesterol mitochondrial transport, and downstream androgen synthesis.

• Folliculogenesis & Luteinization Dynamics: Enables controlled laboratory observation of granulosa cell differentiation, progesterone synthesis, and oocyte maturation signaling cascades.

• Endocrine Axis Recovery & Preservation: Widely utilized in neuroendocrine suppression models to study the maintenance of gonadal morphology and receptor responsiveness in the absence of endogenous LH pulsatility.
