What is HCG?
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a glycoprotein hormone with LH-mimetic properties. It binds LHCGR and stimulates steroidogenesis, valuable in reproductive endocrinology and Leydig cell research.
Mechanism of Action
HCG binds the LH/CG receptor on Leydig cells, activating cAMP/PKA cascade. This stimulates cholesterol-to-pregnenolone conversion via StAR protein, the rate-limiting step in steroid biosynthesis.
Frequently Asked Questions
What receptor does HCG target?
HCG binds the LH/CG receptor (LHCGR), the same receptor activated by LH. It stimulates testosterone in males and progesterone in females.
