products description :
MyBioSource sells Human Serum Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) for research and diagnostic manufacturing purposes. Custom preparations, technical support, bulk quantities and aliquoting available. Sex hormone-binding globulin is a glycoprotein that binds to sex hormones, specifically testosterone and estradiol. Other steroid hormones such as progesterone, cortisol, and other corticosteroids are bound by transcortin. Conditions with low SHBG include polycystic ovary syndrome, diabetes, and hypothyroidism. Conditions with high levels include pregnancy, hyperthyroidism, and anorexia nervosa.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a steroid binding protein that was first described as a plasma protein secreted by the liver but is now thought to participate in the regulation of steroid responses. The encoded protein transports androgens and estrogens in the blood, binding each steroid molecule as a dimer formed from identical or nearly identical monomers. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with polycystic ovary syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

uniprot summary :
SHBG: Functions as an androgen transport protein, but may also be involved in receptor mediated processes. Each dimer binds one molecule of steroid. Specific for 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone, testosterone, and 17-beta-estradiol. Regulates the plasma metabolic clearance rate of steroid hormones by controlling their plasma concentration. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 17p13.1. Cellular Component: extracellular region. Molecular Function: androgen binding. Biological Process: primary spermatocyte growth
