Description | Sex hormone-binding globulin precursor (SHBG) (Sex steroid-bindingprotein) (SBP) (Testis-specific androgen-binding protein) (ABP). |
Organism | Phodopus sungorus |
Txonomy | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Sciurognathi;Muroidea; Cricetidae; Cricetinae; Phodopus. |
Subcellular Location | Secreted. Note=In testis; it is synthesized by the Sertoli cells; secreted into the lumen of the sem |
Developmental Stage | NA |
Similarity | Contains 2 laminin G-like domains. |
Post Translational Modification | Differentially glycosylated in liver (SHBG) and testis (ABP). |
Function | 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. |
