Description
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone composed of alpha and beta subunits, sharing its alpha subunit with LH, FSH, and TSH while deriving its specificity from the unique beta chain. In research, hCG is studied as an LH-receptor agonist in reproductive endocrinology models — Leydig-cell stimulation assays, steroidogenesis pathway mapping, and hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis investigations in animal systems. It also appears in oncology research as a tumor-marker reference, since certain malignancies ectopically express hCG subunits. As a glycosylated protein rather than a simple peptide, its analytical characterization extends beyond sequence verification to include isoform profiling and bioactivity assessment. This 5000 IU presentation provides a standard research quantity for laboratories running endocrine stimulation protocols, receptor-binding studies, or assay-calibration work where a well-characterized gonadotropin reference is required. Its long history as both a research reagent and a clinical analyte means reference data for hCG is exceptionally deep, aiding assay validation and cross-study comparability. For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.

Frequently asked questions
Why is HCG listed in IU rather than MG?
IU identifies a biological activity unit, while MG is a mass unit. Do not treat HCG 5000 IU as a milligram quantity or convert it without a product-specific documented basis.
How should the HCG 5000 IU quantity and batch identity be checked?
Read the quantity on the HCG 5000 IU vial label separately from the analytical identity and purity results. Match the product and lot identifier to the available report; a research article is not a certificate for this supplied batch.
What is the purity of HCG 5000 IU?
Review the matching report for HCG 5000 IU in the COA library. Read the reported method, identity information and purity result together, and match the lot identifier to the supplied material.
Is a Certificate of Analysis included with HCG 5000 IU?
Browse the published COA library for HCG 5000 IU. Confirm that an available report matches the supplied product and lot; contact NUPEPS for current batch documentation before purchase.
How fast is shipping for HCG 5000 IU?
Orders placed before 3PM EST ship the same business day from our USA facility. Estimated delivery is 2 business days. Flat $15 shipping per order.
Is HCG 5000 IU for human use?
No. HCG 5000 IU is strictly for laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary consumption, diagnostic, or therapeutic use.
