Human 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 amino acid (aa) long laminin alpha 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 Liver.
SHBG was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human liver using Goat Anti-Human SHBG Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2656) at 1.7 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific labeling was localized to the plasma membrane of hepatocytes. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Paraffin-embedded Tissue Sections.
Detection of Human SHBG by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of Human Liver. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human SHBG Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2656) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). A specific band was detected for SHBG at approximately ~37 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Western Blot Buffer Group 1.
Detection of SHBG by Immunohistochemistry
Immunohistochemistry of SHBG expression in prostate cancer tissues.(A) Positive and negative control of SHBG in liver tissues. (B) Weak SHBG positivity is shown in a benign prostate tumor and strong SHBG immunoreactivity is revealed in a malignant Gleason score 8 cancer tissue. (C) Representative immunohistochemical images of different scores of prostate cancer samples are shown. Bar scale in all of the images is 150 µm. Image collected and cropped by CiteAb from the following open publication (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23936228), licensed under a CC-BY license.
