Abstract excerpt
Human sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is a homodimeric plasma glycoprotein, and each SHBG monomer may have an O-linked oligosaccharide at Thr(7) and up to two N-linked oligosaccharides at Asn(351) and Asn(367). In addition, a common genetic variant of SHBG exists with an extra site for N-glycosylation at residue 327. In the present study, we isolated MCF-7 derived cell lines expressing human SHBG cDNAs...
