HCG 1000

HCG is studied in research involving hormone signaling, reproductive biology, and endocrine function. Researchers examine how HCG interacts with hormone receptors involved in these biological processes.

Technical Research Details

HCG 1000 is a research-grade Human Chorionic Gonadotropin compound supplied as 1000 IU of lyophilized powder per vial. HCG is a glycoprotein hormone with direct binding affinity for the luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR), making it one of the most studied compounds in reproductive endocrinology, gonadal function research, and HPG axis studies. Its longer biological half-life compared to endogenous LH — a consequence of its sialic acid-rich beta subunit — produces more sustained receptor stimulation, making it a reliable reference compound for studying prolonged gonadotropin activity.

Alpha Tides supplies HCG 1000 as lyophilized powder for laboratory research use.

Its documented molecular characteristics and receptor interaction profile make it suitable for research examining biochemical properties, molecular signaling, and related experimental models.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does HCG differ from LH in research protocols?
HCG binds the same LHCGR receptor as LH but has a significantly longer half-life (~24–36 hours versus less than 1 hour for LH) due to its sialic acid-rich beta subunit. This makes HCG preferable for sustained receptor stimulation studies where LH pulse kinetics are not the primary variable.
How should HCG be stored?
Store lyophilized vials at −20°C before reconstitution. After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within 28 days. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
