Purification | Immunogen affinity purified. |
Cross Reactivity | No cross reactivity with other proteins |
Storage | At -20˚C for one year. After r˚Constitution, at 4˚C for one month. It˚Can also be aliquotted and stored frozen at -20˚C for a longer time.Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. |
Sequence Similarities | Contains 2 laminin G-like domains. |
Name | SHBG (HGNC:10839) |
---|---|
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. |
Cellular Location | Secreted. Note=In testis, it is synthesized by the Sertoli cells, secreted into the lumen of the seminiferous tubule and transported to the epididymis. |
Tissue Location | Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are present in liver and testis |

Background
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is a glycoprotein that binds to the sex hormones,androgen and estrogen. SHBG is produced mostly by the liver and is released into the bloodstream. Other sites that produce SHBG include the brain, uterus, testes, and placenta. SHBG has both enhancing and inhibiting hormonal influences. It decreases with high levels of insulin, growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), androgens, prolactin and transcortin. High estrogen, andthyroxine cause it to increase. It has been found that the monosaccharides glucose and fructose reduced human SHBG production by hepatocytes, irrespective of the presence of insulin, by downregulation of hepatocyte nuclear factor-4A and replacement of HNF4A by COUP-TFI at a cis-element within the human SHBG promoter, coincident with repression of its transcriptional activity.
