Human Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), also known as ABP or androgen binding protein, is a variably glycosylated, secreted non-disulfide linked homodimer that belongs to the SHBG family. Members of this small family have tandem repeats of 170 aa long laminin a chain G-like domains. Each SHBG monomer is a 47‑53 kDa, 373 aa glycoprotein that contains one steroid-binding site in its N-terminal G-like domain. Male and female sex hormones are bound with equal affinity. SHBG is synthesized by the liver and circulates in blood; ABP (SHBG in the testis) is synthesized by Sertoli cells and circulates in the male reproductive system. Human SHBG shares approximately 67% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat SHBG.

Scientific Data Images for Human SHBG Antibody
SHBG in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma Tissue.
SHBG was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human hepatocellular carcinoma tissue using Mouse Anti-Human SHBG Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB26563) at 5 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC001). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm in cancer cells.
