Indicators
Sex hormone-binding globulin (402 aa, ~44 kDa) is encoded by the human SHBG gene. This protein is involved in steroid transport.
Tests
An SHBG blood test measures the level of a protein called sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) in a sample of your blood. SHBG is made mostly in your liver. It binds (attaches) to sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen and helps control how much of these hormones are active in your body.
