We have measured serum concentrations of SHBG in 5000 women over the age of 35. In both premenopausal and postmenopausal women who were not suffering from cancer or other diseases or taking drugs likely to affect SHBG, the protein decreased with increasing weight and was lower in single nulliparous women than in married nulliparous women or parous women. In premenopausal women, SHBG was higher in women with late menarche. These findings suggest that diminished SHBG concentrations may be associated with the increased risk for breast cancer conferred by nulliparity and early menarche.

D012738 Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin 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.
