摘要

人绒毛膜促性腺激素(hCG)是人体生殖和代谢过程的重要调节因子。hCG可以用于辅助生殖和治疗不孕不育症,还能用于治疗性机能障碍,如阳痿、隐睾以及侏儒症等,作为内分泌系统药物发挥着不可替代的作用。本文简述了hCG的应用、分子结构、受体结构、信号通路和生物活性检测方法等内容。此外,对hCG药物的发展和生物活性检测方法提出了展望。

Abstract

Human chorinonic gonadotropin (hCG) is an important regulator of reproductive and metabolic processes in the human body. hCG can be used for assisted reproduction and treatment of infertility. It is also used to treat sexual dysfunctions such as impotence, cryptorchidism, and dwarfism. hCG plays an irreplaceable role as an endocrine system drug. This article briefly describes the applications, molecular structure, receptor structure, signaling pathways and bioactivity assays of hCG. In addition, an outlook on the development of hCG drugs and bioactivity detection menthods is presented.
