Abstract excerpt
Human sex hormone-binding globulin (hSHBG) is a plasma glycoprotein composed of two identical subunits. The protein, which has high affinity for testosterone and estradiol has been purified to homogeneity. In this study we have investigated, on neuraminidase-treated serum samples, the presence of genetic variations of hSHBG by polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing (IEF). Based on IEF analyses of 110 serum...
