Anti-HSD11B1 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein hydroxysteroid 11-beta dehydrogenase 1. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 292 amino acid residues and a mass of 32.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER. It is reported to be widely expressed, highest expression in the liver, lower in testis, ovary, lung, foreskin fibroblasts, and much lower in the kidney. A member of the Short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) protein family, HSD11B1 is known to be involved with lung development. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include 11-beta-HSD1, CORTRD2, HDL, HSD11, HSD11B, HSD11L, SDR26C1, and 11-DH. HSD11B1 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog and chimpanzee species. A number of HSD11B1 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
