Descriptor English: Androgen-Binding Protein
Descriptor Spanish: Proteína de Unión a Andrógenos
Descriptor proteína de unión a andrógenos
Entry term(s) proteína fijadora de andrógenos
Scope note: Proteínas transportadoras producidas en las células de Sertoli de los testículos, segregadas en los túbulos seminiferos y transportadas a través de los conductos eferentes al epidídimo. Participan en el transporte de andrógenos. La proteína fijadora de andrógenos tiene la misma secuencia de aminoácidos que la GLOBULINA DE UNIÓN A HORMONAS SEXUALES. Difieren en sus lugares de síntesis y en las modificaciones postranslacionales en los oligosacáridos.

Scope note: Carrier proteins produced in the Sertoli cells of the testis, secreted into the seminiferous tubules, and transported via the efferent ducts to the epididymis. They participate in the transport of androgens. Androgen-binding protein has the same amino acid sequence as SEX HORMONE-BINDING GLOBULIN. They differ by their sites of synthesis and post-translational oligosaccharide modifications.
