Avian corticosteroid-binding globulin: biological function and regulatory mechanisms in physiological stress responses
Abstract Corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) is a high-affinity plasma protein that binds glucocorticoids (GCs) and regulates their biological activities. The structural and functional properties of CBG are crucial to understanding the biological actions of GCs in mediating stress responses and th...
