Steroid hormones, as well as their unconjugated precursors and metabolites, circulate bound by several unrelated plasma proteins, including albumin, orosomucoid, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG), while the more water soluble sulphated steroid conjugates are bound large...
