SHBG53
  • Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) or sex steroid-binding globulin (SSBG) is a glycoprotein that binds to androgens and estrogens. (wikipedia.org)
  • SHBG inhibits the function of these hormones. (wikipedia.org)
  • Thus, the local bioavailability of sex hormones is influenced by the level of SHBG. (wikipedia.org)
  • Because SHBG binds to testosterone (T) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), these hormones are made less lipophilic and become concentrated within the luminal fluid of the seminiferous tubules. (wikipedia.org)
  • DHT binds to SHBG with about 5 times the affinity of testosterone and about 20 times the affinity of estradiol. (wikipedia.org)
  • Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is weakly bound to SHBG, but dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate is not bound to SHBG. (wikipedia.org)
  • Androstenedione is not bound to SHBG either, and is instead bound solely to albumin. (wikipedia.org)
  • Estrone sulfate and estriol are also poorly bound by SHBG. (wikipedia.org)
  • Less than 1% of progesterone is bound to SHBG. (wikipedia.org)
  • Testes-produced SHBG is called androgen-binding protein. (wikipedia.org)
  • The mechanism of activating the promoter for SHBG in the liver involves hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4A) binding to a DR1 like cis element which then stimulate production. (wikipedia.org)
