" /> sex Hormone-Binding globulin - CISMeF





Preferred Label : sex Hormone-Binding globulin;

MeSH definition : A glycoprotein migrating as a beta-globulin. Its molecular weight, 52,000 or 95,000-115,000, indicates that it exists as a dimer. The protein binds testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and estradiol in the plasma. Sex hormone-binding protein has the same amino acid sequence as ANDROGEN-BINDING PROTEIN. They differ by their sites of synthesis and post-translational oligosaccharide modifications.;

MeSH synonym : binding globulin, testosterone-estradiol; sex steroid binding protein; testosterone estradiol binding globulin; globulin, sex hormone-binding; hormone-binding globulin, sex; testosterone-estradiol binding globulin; globulin, testosterone-estradiol binding; sex steroid-binding protein; steroid-binding protein, sex; sex hormone binding globulin;

MeSH annotation : does not refer to all sex hormones: refers to a specific protein in the blood binding only testosterone or estradiol; for other sex hormone-binding globulins consider ANDROGEN-BINDING PROTEIN & PROGESTERONE-BINDING GLOBULIN; DF: SHBG; does not refer to all sex hormones: refers to a specific protein in the blood binding only testosterone or estradiol; for other sex hormone-binding globulins consider ANDROGEN-BINDING PROTEIN & PROGESTERONE-BINDING GLOBULIN;
