What is it?
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is a protein that binds to sex hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen, in the blood, regulating their availability to tissues. By binding to these hormones, SHBG helps control their activity, influencing various physiological processes, including reproductive functions and the balance of sex hormones.
