Anti-11-beta-HSD2 antibodies are protein reagents that detect specific antigens. The 11-beta-HSD2 antigen is another term for the human protein hydroxysteroid 11-beta dehydrogenase 2, encoded by the HSD11B2 gene. The protein is known to catalyze the conversion of biologically active 11beta-hydroxyglucocorticoids (11beta-hydroxysteroid) such as cortisol, to inactive 11-ketoglucocorticoids (11-oxosteroid) such as cortisone, in the presence of NAD(+). Canonically, it has an amino acid length of 405 residues and a mass of 44.1 kilodaltons. Its subcellular localization is in the ER and it is reported to be expressed in the kidney, placenta, pancreas, prostate, ovary, small intestine and colon, and in lower levels in the spleen and testis. The 11-beta-HSD2 protein is a member of the Short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) protein family. Other alias names for 11-beta-HSD2 include AME, AME1, and HSD11K. Indicated applications for 11-beta-HSD2 antibodies listed below include ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry, and Immunohistochemistry.
