Anti-HSD17B7 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 7. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 341 amino acid residues and a mass of 38.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be highly expressed in adrenal gland, liver, lung and thymus. A member of the Short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) protein family, HSD17B7 is known to be a bifunctional enzyme involved in steroid-hormone metabolism and cholesterol biosynthesis. Synonyms for this target antigen include SDR37C1, 3-keto-steroid reductase/17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 7, 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type VII, 17-beta-HSD 7, and PRAP. HSD17B7 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of HSD17B7 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
