MeSH definition : Carrier proteins produced in the Sertoli cells of the testis, secreted into the seminiferous
tubules, and transported via the efferent ducts to the epididymis. They participate
in the transport of androgens. Androgen-binding protein has the same amino acid sequence
as SEX HORMONE-BINDING GLOBULIN. They differ by their sites of synthesis and post-translational
oligosaccharide modifications.;
