Immunochemical characterization and quantitation of human sex steroid binding plasma protein. 1981

M Egloff, and R Vranckx, and J Tardivel-Lacombe, and H Degrelle

The interest in the measurement of human sex steroid binding plasma protein (h-SBP) is now increasing since it allows the estimation of the free fraction of circulating hormones in plasma. Up to this date, this protein could only be determined by measuring the total binding capacity of serum for dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The purpose of the present work was to purify the protein, to prepare a rabbit monospecific antiserum and to develop an immunoelectrophoretic assay of h-SBP. The immunological assay is specific, accurate and sensitive. A good correlation with the radioligand assay was found. The h-SBP levels obtained by immunoelectrophoretic assay of different serum samples were 5.3 +/- 1.4 (SEM) mg/L in normal men and 13.4 +/- 2.6 (SEM) mg/L in normal women.

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.
