Androgen binding protein (ABP), Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), Sex steroid binding protein (SBP), Sex steroid-binding protein, Testis-specific androgen-binding protein, Testosterone binding beta globulin, Testosterone-Estradiol-Binding Globulin (TEBG)
Recognizes a protein of 45 kDa, identified as SHBG. It functions as an androgen transport protein, but may also be involved in receptor-mediated processes. Each dimer binds one molecule of steroid. It is specific for 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone, testosterone, and 17-beta-estradiol. SHBG regulates the plasma metabolic clearance rate of steroid hormones by controlling their plasma concentration. In testis, it is synthesized by the Sertoli cells, secreted into the lumen of the seminiferous tubule and transported to the epididymis.Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF Dyes and other labels. CF Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF405S and CF405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.
Immunohistology formalin-fixed 1-2 ug/mL|Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM Tris with 1 mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes|Immunofluorescence 0.5-1 ug/mL|Flow Cytometry 0.5-1 ug/million cells/0.1 mL|Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined by user
