Because of its role as a hormone carrier, corticosteroid-binding globulin has been implicated in a wide range of biological functions, ranging from glucose metabolism to stress-responses to sperm motility <ref>PMID:10487686 </ref>,<ref>PMID:19896663 </ref>,<ref>PMID:17547679 </ref>. However, the molecular mechanism of these are, arguably, not as well-understood as its role in the anti-inflammatory response, where its mode of action can be elegantly explained in the conformational changes described above. | Because of its role as a hormone carrier, corticosteroid-binding globulin has been implicated in a wide range of biological functions, ranging from glucose metabolism to stress-responses to sperm motility <ref>PMID:10487686 </ref>,<ref>PMID:19896663 </ref>,<ref>PMID:17547679 </ref>.
