Research record

Overview

Compound name: Human Chorionic Gonadotropin

Common abbreviation: hCG

Compound classification: Glycoprotein hormone

Brief factual description:

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a naturally occurring glycoprotein hormone produced by placental trophoblast cells during pregnancy. It functions as a luteinizing hormone (LH) analog, binding to LH receptors to maintain progesterone production, support pregnancy, and regulate reproductive hormone synthesis.

Mechanism of Action

Primary biological targets: Luteinizing hormone/chorionic gonadotropin receptor (LHCGR)

Affected systems: Reproductive, endocrine

Receptor selectivity:

High affinity for LH receptors

Downstream signaling effects:

Activation of adenylate cyclase

Increased intracellular cAMP

Stimulation of steroidogenesis (progesterone, testosterone)
