Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) Active Protein | SHBG active protein
Active Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
20mM Tris, 150mM NaCl, pH8.0, containing 1mM EDTA, 1mM DTT, 0.01% SKL, 5% Trehalose and Proclin300.
Stable for 12 months if correctly stored.
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determinedby accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and noobvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within theexpiration date under appropriate storage condition.
Activity
(Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) or sex steroid-binding globulin (SSBG) is a glycoprotein, a molecule that consists of a carbohydrate plus a protein, and is produced mainly in your liver. It binds to three sex hormones found in both men and women: estrogen, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and testosterone. Its job is to transport these hormones throughout your blood to other tissues in your body. Thus a binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant human SHBG and bsa-conjugated testosterone(Testo) . Briefly, biotin-linked recombinant human SHBG were diluted serially in PBS, with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100?l were then transferred to bsa-conjugated Testo -coated microtiter wells and incubated for 1h at 37?. Wells were washed with PBST 3 times and incubation with HRP conjugage for 30min, then wells were aspirated and washed 5 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37?. Finally, add 50µl stop solution to the wells and read at 450nm immediately. The binding activity of SHBG and Testo was shown in Figure 1, and this effect was in a dose dependent manner.)
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a steroid binding protein that was first described as a plasma protein secreted by the liver but is now thought to participate in the regulation of steroid responses. The encoded protein binds each steroid molecule as a dimer formed from identical or nearly identical monomers. The use of alternate promoters and alternatively spliced transcripts have been described. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Uniprot Description
SHBG: Functions as an androgen transport protein, but may also be involved in receptor mediated processes. Each dimer binds one molecule of steroid. Specific for 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone, testosterone, and 17-beta-estradiol. Regulates the plasma metabolic clearance rate of steroid hormones by controlling their plasma concentration. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The SHBG shbg (Catalog #AAA2125334) is an Active Protein produced from 293F Cell and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Cell culture, Activity Assays. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the SHBG shbg for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Arg31~Ser4 01. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
