Though the existence of extracellular sex steroid-binding proteins has been known for a number of years, we are still only on the threshold of understanding their biological role. Through efforts such as those described above, we are beginning to examine the structure of these macromolecules and correlating them with present known functions. As our understanding of the function of these proteins evolves, we will be further able to ascribe structural domains.
