Product Overview
Clone: SHBG/245
SHBG functions as an androgen transport protein, but may also be involved in receptormediated processes. Each dimer binds one molecule of steroid. It is specific for 5-alphadihydrotestosterone, testosterone, and 17-beta-estradiol. SHBG regulates the plasma metabolic clearance rate of steroid hormones by controlling their plasma concentration. In the testis, it is synthesized by the Sertoli cells, secreted into the lumen of the seminiferous tubule, and transported to the epididymis.
