Sex hormone binding globulin: binding capacity and studies on the binding of cyproterone acetate and other steroids. 1978

M Frölich, and M G van Schie, and E C Brand

Sex hormone binding globulin in blood is quantitated by ammonium sulphate precipitation technique with two radioactive ligands, [3H]testosterone and [3H5dihydrotestosterone. Plasma levels in normal men, normal women, women taking oral contraceptives containing oestrogens, and pregnant women are presented, measured with both ligands. Binding experiments with these ligands and several competing steroids show marked differences in displacement ability. For cyproterone acetate 100-500 ng per tube is required to obtain even a slight displacement of the radioactive ligands.

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.
