Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is a transport protein in human plasma which regulates the bioavailability of sex hormones, mediates membrane receptor signaling and may affect inflammatory processes, suggesting a regulatory role for this protein in the prevention of atherosclerosis. The current report summarizes literature implicating several members of the SHBG family in the regulation of hormonal and inflammatory processes which may be pertinent to the accelerated atherosclerosis seen in systemic lupus.

Key Words: sex hormone binding globulin • protein S • atherosclerosis
