SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) 10000 IU – Lab Research Supply is the endogenous heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone (hCG) supplied as a laboratory grade research peptide. Classified as an LHCGR (LH/CG receptor) agonist, this research chemical supports controlled investigations into endocrine signaling and immune-modulatory pathways in scientific research. With calibrated activity and high purity, HCG for research is valued for reproducible in‑vitro studies and peptide research.

SECTION 2: RESEARCH APPLICATIONS

• Investigated in studies examining LHCGR-mediated cAMP/PKA signaling and downstream steroidogenic gene regulation.
• Research has explored its role in trophoblast biology, placental development, and angiogenic pathway modulation.
• In‑vitro studies have demonstrated concentration-dependent activation in Leydig and granulosa cell models.
• Animal model research suggests context-dependent effects on neuroinflammation and neuronal survival pathways.
• Laboratory investigations focus on wound-healing processes, fibroblast migration, and recovery signaling cascades.
• Studies also assess cross-talk with cytokine networks relevant to anti-inflammatory research contexts.

SECTION 3: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Content: 10,000 IU per vial; activity calibrated to international standards. Purity: ≥98% (RP‑HPLC/SDS‑PAGE). Molecular form: heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone (alpha subunit 92 aa; beta subunit 145 aa), glycosylated. Apparent molecular weight: ~36–40 kDa (glycosylation-dependent). Molecular formula: heterogeneous due to glycosylation (fixed empirical formula not applicable). CAS: 9002‑61‑3. Form factor: sterile, lyophilized powder (white to off‑white) for preparation of solutions for in‑vitro studies.

SECTION 4: QUALITY ASSURANCE

Manufactured in an ISO 9001 and cGMP‑aligned facility under strict laboratory-grade controls. Each lot is verified by identity testing (LC‑MS/peptide mapping or immunoassay), purity profiling (HPLC, SDS‑PAGE), and bioburden/endotoxin screening where applicable. A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) is provided with potency in IU, purity data, and analytical methods. Batches are released only after meeting predefined specifications for high purity peptide performance in research settings.

SECTION 5: STORAGE & HANDLING

Store lyophilized vials at −20°C or below, protected from light and moisture; stable up to 24 months when stored as recommended. Reconstitute with sterile, neutral aqueous buffer (e.g., water or PBS) using gentle swirling; do not vortex. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at −20°C; avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Use appropriate PPE and aseptic technique. For laboratory use only.
