Target Information
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) primarily functions as a transport protein for androgens but may also participate in receptor-mediated processes. Each SHBG dimer binds one steroid molecule, specifically targeting 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone, testosterone, and 17-beta-estradiol. It regulates the plasma metabolic clearance rate of steroid hormones by influencing their plasma concentration. SHBG levels are closely linked to cardiovascular disease risk. Research indicates that mice with lower SHBG levels may be more prone to atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular issues. Additionally, SHBG levels are closely associated with obesity levels. In obese mice, SHBG levels are typically low, potentially due to the storage and metabolism of sex hormones in adipose tissue.
