| Alias | Anti Chorionic Gonadotropin |
|---|
| Abbreviated Name-2 | HCG-β core |
|---|
| Description | Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a peptide hormone produced in pregnancy, that is made by the embryo soon after conception and later by the syncytiotrophoblast (part of the placenta). Its role is to prevent the disintegration of the corpus luteum of the ovary and thereby maintain progesterone production that is critical for a pregnancy in humans. hCG may have additional functions, for instance it is thought that it affects the immune tolerance of the pregnancy. Early pregnancy testing generally is based on the detection or measurement of hCG. |

| Storage | Lyophilized: store at 4°C.
After reconstitution or ifpurchased in liquid form (PBS), if not used within a month, aliquot and store at -20°C. |
|---|
| Stability | Two years lyophilized, one month in solution at 4°C |
