Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone structurally homologous to LH. It activates LH/hCG receptors to stimulate gonadal steroidogenesis. Research examines its applications in studying HPG axis regulation and Leydig cell biology.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a chemical produced by the trophoblast tissue, which is usually present in the early embryo and will eventually become part of the placenta. Measuring hCG levels helps to identify normal, pathological and miscarried pregnancies. Measuring hCG is also beneficial for many cancers including choriocarcinoma and extrauterine malignancies.
