HCG

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is a 237-amino acid glycoprotein naturally produced during pregnancy that acts as a potent luteinizing hormone analog. It activates the LH/hCG receptor on target tissues, triggering intracellular signaling cascades including PKC, PKA, and Smad2 pathways that stimulate steroidogenesis. Research demonstrates hCG's role in maintaining corpus luteum function, progesterone production, and reproductive hormone regulation. In research contexts, hCG is widely studied for its endocrine signaling capabilities and applications in understanding hormonal pathways.
