HSD17B2 (Hydroxysteroid 17-β dehydrogenase 2) is a member of the short chain alcohol dehydrogenase superfamily expressed in non-steroidogenic human embryonic kidney cells.
Application
ANTI-HSD17B2 (CENTER) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for flow cytometry (1:10-1:50), immunohistochemistry (1:50-1:100), and western blot: 1:250-1:500.
Biochem/physiol Actions
HSD17B2 (Hydroxysteroid 17-β dehydrogenase 2) is highly involved in the synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones. It maintains the intracellular concentration of biologically active steroid hormones in a wide range of male and female human tissues. It catalyzes the interconversion of testosterone and androstenedione as well as estradiol and estrone through 17-β HSD activities. HSD17B2 also exhibits 20α-HSD activity toward 20α-dihydroprogesterone.
Physical form
Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
