Research overview
Human chorionic gonadotropin is a 237-amino-acid glycoprotein hormone produced naturally by the placenta. It has an alpha subunit shared with LH, FSH, and TSH and a beta subunit unique to hCG, and it acts on the LH/CG receptor. It is used in reproductive endocrinology research and as a tumor marker.
Potency is labeled in international units (IU).
