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
This gene encodes a steroid binding protein that was firstdescribed as a plasma protein secreted by the liver but is nowthought to participate in the regulation of steroid responses. Theencoded protein binds each steroid molecule as a dimer formed fromidentical or nearly identical monomers. The use of alternatepromoters and alternatively spliced transcripts have beendescribed. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoformshave been found for this gene.
