epitope corresponding to amino acids 197-403 mapping at the C-terminus of SHBG of mouse origin
Modification Notes
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) precursor is a secreted homodimer that binds steroid hormones. SHBG, also known as testis-specific androgen-binding protein or testosterone-estradiol binding globulin (TeBG), functions as an androgen transport protein and is involved in receptor mediated processes. It is specific for 7-b-estradiol and 5-a-dihydrotestosterone and testosterone. By controlling the plasma concentration of steroid hormones, SHBG regulates the plasma metabolic clearance rate of the hormones. Isoforms 1 and 2 of the protein are detected in liver and testis. In testis SHBG is synthesized by the Sertoli cells, secreted into the seminiferous tubule and then transported to the epididymis.
