Corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) also known as transcortin or serpin A6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SERPINA6 gene.[2][3][4]

Contents

[edit] Function

This gene encodes an alpha-globulin protein with corticosteroid-binding properties. This is the major transport protein for glucocorticoids and progestins in the blood of most vertebrates. The gene localizes to a chromosomal region containing several closely related serine protease inhibitors (serpins) which may have evolved by duplication events.[4]
