HSD17B4 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 4, which is encoded by the HSD17B4 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be involved in osteoblast differentiation. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 736 residues, a mass of 79.7 kDa, and is a member of the Short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) protein family. It is known to be localized in the peroxisomes. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The HSD17B4 gene has been associated with the disease, D-bifunctional protein deficiency. Other alias names for this target include MFE-2, MFP-2, MPF-2, PRLTS1, SDR8C1, peroxisomal multifunctional enzyme type 2, 17-beta-HSD 4, and DBP.
The detection range for different HSD17B4 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 10 ng/L and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
