A Human Sex Hormone-binding Globulin Isoform Accumulates in the Acrosome during Spermatogenesis

Abstract excerpt

Human sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) binds estradiol and testosterone with high affinity. Plasma SHBG is produced by hepatocytes, but the human SHBG gene is also expressed in the testis. Little is known about SHBG gene expression in the human testis, but human SHBG transcripts accumulate in a spermatogenic stage-dependent manner in the testes of mice containing an 11-kb human SHBG transgene. We have now...
