Hormonal Transport Protein Synthesis

Meaning

Hormonal Transport Protein Synthesis is the vital hepatic process responsible for the creation and secretion of specialized plasma proteins that bind and carry steroid and thyroid hormones throughout the bloodstream. Key examples include Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG), Corticosteroid-Binding Globulin (CBG), and Thyroid-Binding Globulin (TBG). This synthesis directly controls the concentration of free, biologically active hormones, fundamentally regulating their bioavailability and impact on target tissues.
