Descriptor English: Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin
Descriptor Spanish: Globulina de Unión a Hormona Sexual
Descriptor globulina de unión a hormonas sexuales
Entry term(s) globulina de unión a testosterona-estradiol
proteína de unión a esteroides sexuales
Scope note: Glicoproteína que migra como una betaglobulina. Su peso molecular, 52.000 o 95.000-115.000, indica que existe como dímero. La proteína se une a la testosterona, dihidrotestosterona y estradiol en el plasma. Esta proteína de unión a las hormonas sexuales tiene la misma secuencia de aminoácidos que la PROTEINA DE UNIÓN A ANDRÓGENOS. Se diferencian por sus lugares de síntesis y por las modificaciones postransduccionales de oligosacáridos.

Scope note: A glycoprotein migrating as a beta-globulin. Its molecular weight, 52,000 or 95,000-115,000, indicates that it exists as a dimer. The protein binds testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and estradiol in the plasma. Sex hormone-binding protein has the same amino acid sequence as ANDROGEN-BINDING PROTEIN. They differ by their sites of synthesis and post-translational oligosaccharide modifications.
Annotation: does not refer to all sex hormones: refers to a specific protein in the blood binding only testosterone or estradiol; for other sex hormone-binding globulins consider ANDROGEN-BINDING PROTEIN & PROGESTERONE-BINDING GLOBULIN; DF: SHBG
