Biologically active steroids are transported in the blood by albumin, sex hormone-binding
globulin (SHBG), and corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG). These plasma proteins also …

The plasma steroid-binding proteins, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and
corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG), transport steroid hormones in the blood and regulate …

I. Introduction A VARIETY of extracellular binding proteins enhance the solubility of steroid
hormones in biological fluids and facilitate their transport from steroidogenic tissues to target …

Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is a multifunctional protein that acts in humans to
regulate the response to steroids at several junctures. It was originally described as a …

Sex hormone-binding globulin is a plasma glycoprotein that binds certain estrogens and
androgens with high affinity. Over the past several years it has been shown that, in addition …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the serum transport of steroid hormones. Steroid
hormones are extensively bound to plasma proteins including albumin, corticosteroid …

Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is a plasma glycoprotein that binds a number of
circulating steroid hormones (testosterone, dihydrotestosterone and estradiol) with high …

Human plasma contains two steroid-binding proteins, corticosteroid-binding globulin and
sex hormone-binding globulin. They regulate the concentration of free steroid hormones in …

Two types of proteins form dissociable complexes with the circulating steroid hormones in
blood serum: albumin, the most abundant plasma protein, and the highly specific …

[en] Steroid hormone binding proteins can be measured, after the removal of endogenous
steroids, as specific complexes with radio-labelled hormones. In this study all the …
