General annotation (Comments)

Function

Major transport protein for glucocorticoids and progestins in the blood of almost all vertebrate species.

Subcellular location

Secreted.

Tissue specificity

Plasma; synthesized in liver. Has also been identified in a number of glycocorticoid responsive cells.

Post-translational modification

N-glycosylated; binds 5 oligosaccharide chains.

Glycosylation in position Asn-260 is needed for steroid binding.

Involvement in disease

Defects in SERPINA6 are a cause of corticosteroid-binding globulin deficiency (CBG deficiency) [MIM:611489]. CBG deficiency is an extremely rare hereditary disorder characterized by reduced corticosteroid-binding capacity with normal or low plasma corticosteroid-binding globulin concentration, and normal or low basal cortisol levels associated with hypo/hypertension and muscle fatigue.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the serpin family.
