SHBG Antibodies
AND SHBG ELISA kits, SHBG Proteins
Many biological assays use antibodies to detect SHBG, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with SHBG in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop SHBG antibodies...

SHBG Overview
Facts about Sex hormone-binding globulin.
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG)
Functions as an androgen transport protein, but may also be involved in receptor mediated processes. Each dimer binds one molecule of steroid.
Particular for 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone, testosterone, and 17-beta-estradiol. Regulates the plasma metabolic clearance rate of steroid hormones by controlling their plasma concentration.

Tissue Specificity
Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are present in liver and testis.
Subcellular Localizations
Secreted. In testis, it is synthesized by the Sertoli cells, secreted into the lumen of the seminiferous tubule and transported to the epididymis.
