It is an alpha-globulin. Transcortin, also known as corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) or serpin A6, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SERPINA6 gene. It is an alpha-globulin. This gene encodes an alpha-globulin protein with corticosteroid-binding properties. This is the major transport protein for glucocorticoids and progestins in the blood of most vertebrates. The gene localizes to a chromosomal region containing several closely related serine protease inhibitors (serpins) which have evolved by duplication events.
