See transcortin.

corticosteroid

any of the hormones produced by the adrenal cortex; also, their synthetic equivalents. Called also adrenocortical hormone and adrenocorticosteroid. All the hormones are steroids having similar chemical structures, but quite different physiological effects. Generally they are divided into glucocorticoids (cortisol, or hydrocortisone, and corticosterone), mineralocorticoids (aldosterone and desoxycorticosterone, and also corticosterone) and androgens.

corticosteroid-binding globulin

α-globulin that binds unconjugated corticosteroid and transports it in the plasma; called also transcortin.
