What are the advantages of a recombinant monoclonal antibody?
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

- High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
- Improved sensitivity and specificity
- Long-term security of supply
- Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Sandwich ELISA
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Supplementary information

The protein sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) also known as testosterone-estradiol binding globulin (TEBG) plays an important role in binding and transporting sex steroids in the bloodstream. This glycoprotein has a mass of approximately 90 kDa. SHBG is produced mainly in the liver but it is also expressed in other tissues such as the testes ovaries and placenta. It regulates the availability of sex hormones to tissues and influences their bioactivity at the cellular level.

Biological function summary

SHBG regulates the levels of circulating androgens and estrogens by binding tightly to testosterone and estradiol. This binding inhibits the hormones from interacting with their receptors until they are released therefore controlling their action. SHBG can exist as a monomer but often forms a homodimer complex. In addition to binding sex hormones SHBG also interacts with membrane receptors and may participate in the direct signaling pathways that modulate cellular responses.

Pathways

SHBG plays a role in the regulation of the steroid hormone pathway and is related to the transport and metabolic clearance of sex hormones. This pathway involves transformation and transportation of estrogens and androgens affecting genes regulated by these hormones. SHBG interacts with various proteins including albumin which assists in hormone transport and it might influence the androgen receptor pathway altering cell proliferation and differentiation signals.

SHBG levels influence conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and type 2 diabetes. In PCOS lower levels of SHBG can result in greater circulating free testosterone which may exacerbate symptoms. In the context of type 2 diabetes alterations in SHBG levels may affect insulin resistance possibly linked with insulin and glucose transport proteins. Understanding the dynamics of SHBG could aid in the development of therapeutic strategies targeting these conditions.

Target data

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.
