Description
Product Overview Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is a complex glycoprotein consisting of 237 amino acids across two distinct subunits: an alpha subunit (common to LH, FSH, and TSH) and a unique beta subunit that determines its specific receptor binding affinity. Our lyophilized hCG is purified for precise laboratory applications.
Research & Analytical Applications In laboratory settings, high-purity hCG is critical for several in-vitro applications:
-
Assay Calibration: Functioning as a reliable control or standard curve reference in the development of ELISA and other diagnostic immunoassays.
-
Receptor Kinetics: Investigating the binding affinity and downstream signaling cascades of the LH/CGC receptor in isolated cellular models.
-
Protein Analysis: Serving as a reference glycoprotein in structural biology and mass spectrometry studies.
