Expression and distribution of androgen-binding protein/sex hormone-binding globulin in the female rodent reproductive system.

Abstract excerpt

Androgen-binding protein (ABP)/sex hormone-binding globulin gene expression has been described in the rat testicular Sertoli cell and brain. The extracellular protein is thought to regulate the bioavailability of sex steroids, but may have a more complex function as a hormone or growth factor. Transgenic mice were developed with a 5.5-kilobase (kb) rat DNA fragment containing the ABP gene with all 8 exon...
