SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) is a blood protein that connects to hormones. It's made in the liver and, to a lesser extent, the testes. It's a long-extinct protein found in all mammals. There are even fish that have it.
This protein's duty is to quantify the volume of other hormones in your bloodstream and to select which tissues such hormones can reach.
Testosterone and oestrogen are two hormones that aid in the development of your body's sexual and reproductive tissues. SHBG is a protein that aids in the movement of active — that is, functional — forms of these hormones across your body.
This test determines how much SHBG is present in your blood. It's a liver-produced protein that binds to sex hormones seen in both men and women.

What is Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) Test?
The most common purpose of a Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) test is to determine how much testosterone is being delivered to the body's tissues. Total testosterone is a distinct test that can be used to determine testosterone production. This test determines how much testosterone is present in the human body, but just not how much would be used.
A total testosterone test may be sufficient to make a conclusion in some cases. However, some persons have indications of too much or too little testosterone that the findings of a total testosterone test cannot explain. An SHBG blood test may be conducted in these circumstances to learn more about the amount of testosterone circulating in the body.
