Product Overview
BioVenic rabbit polyclonal antibody is specific for rat sex hormone binding globulin. It is purified by protein A/G. It can be applied to WB, IHC, ICC and IP assays of rat sex hormone binding globulin.
Specifications
Target Information
Rat sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is a secreted glycoprotein encoded by the Shbg gene in Rattus norvegicus, mapped to chromosome 1. It belongs to the steroid hormone binding protein family, featuring conserved steroid-binding domains and N-linked glycosylation sites critical for ligand affinity and stability. It localizes primarily to systemic circulation and interstitial fluid, synthesized in rat liver and secreted into blood, with wide distribution in peripheral tissues. The protein mediates steroid hormone transport and bioavailability regulation, with conserved structural motifs for specific ligand binding. Rat SHBG shares core functional domains with mammalian orthologs, and has distinct steroid-binding specificity differentiating it from other hormone carrier proteins.
