Human Corticosteroid Binding Globulin (SERPINA6) Protein

Background

SERPINA6, also known as Corticosteroid-Binding Globulin (CBG), is a significant member of the serpin (serine protease inhibitor) superfamily, which plays a vital role in various biological processes, particularly in the regulation of glucocorticoids like cortisol. Glucocorticoids are essential for numerous physiological processes, including metabolism, immune response, and stress adaptation. SERPINA6 is primarily responsible for binding and transporting glucocorticoids in the blood, ensuring that these hormones are available in a regulated manner for physiological needs.
