Protein name Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) (Sex steroid-binding protein) (SBP) (Testis-specific androgen-binding protein) (ABP) (Testosterone-estradiol-binding globulin) (TeBG) (Testosterone-estrogen-binding globulin)
Protein 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 me
