Anti-17-beta-HSD antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the 17-beta-HSD antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the HSD17B1 gene, which encodes hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 1. This protein is known to function in adipose tissue development and bone development, among other biological roles. The human version of 17-beta-HSD has a canonical amino acid length of 328 residues and a protein mass of 35 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the cytoplasm of cells and notably expressed in the placenta. This target antigen may also be known as 17-beta-HSD. Western Blot is a widely used application for the 17-beta-HSD antibodies listed below. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
