[edit] Summary

Description

Much of the testosterone is transported inside carrier proteins in the blood, including serum albumin and sex hormone binding globulin (PDB entry 1d2s). These carriers slowly release testosterone, which slips through cell membranes and into cells. Once inside, a cellular enzyme often converts it to an even more active form, 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone (shown here at the top). (more details...)
