Function
Functions as an androgen transport protein, but may also be involved in receptor mediated processes. Each dimer binds one molecule of steroid. Specific for 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone, testosterone, and 17-beta-estradiol. Regulates the plasma metabolic clearance rate of steroid hormones by controlling their plasma concentration. -
Tissue specificity
Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are present in liver and testis. -
Sequence similarities
Contains 2 laminin G-like domains. -
Cellular localization
Secreted. In testis, it is synthesized by the Sertoli cells, secreted into the lumen of the seminiferous tubule and transported to the epididymis. - Information by UniProt
