| Description | Sex hormone-binding globulin precursor (SHBG) (Sex steroid-bindingprotein) (SBP) (Testis-specific androgen-binding protein) (ABP). |
| Organism | Rattus norvegicus |
| Txonomy | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Sciurognathi;Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus. |
| Subcellular Location | Secreted. Note=In testis; it is synthesized by the Sertoli cells; secreted into the lumen of the sem |
| Developmental Stage | In the fetal liver; expressed from day 14 to day 17 after conception. |
| Similarity | Contains 2 laminin G-like domains. |
| Post Translational Modification | NA |
| 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. |
