Chorionic gonadotropin

Description:
Chorionic gonadotropin, often referred to as human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), is a glycoprotein hormone produced during pregnancy by the placenta. It is composed of two subunits, alpha and beta, which are linked by non-covalent interactions. The alpha subunit is similar to that of other hormones such as luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), while the beta subunit is unique to hCG, providing it with specific biological activity. hCG plays a crucial role in maintaining the corpus luteum during early pregnancy, thereby supporting progesterone production, which is essential for sustaining the uterine lining. In addition to its physiological role in pregnancy, hCG is also utilized in various medical applications, including fertility treatments and as a marker in certain cancers. The CAS number 9002-61-3 identifies this substance in chemical databases, facilitating its study and application in both clinical and research settings. Overall, hCG is a vital hormone with significant implications in reproductive health and medicine.
