HSD17B8 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 8, which is encoded by the HSD17B8 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be required for the solubility and assembly of the heterotetramer 3-ketoacyl-[acyl carrier protein] (ACP) reductase functional complex (KAR or KAR1) that forms part of the mitochondrial fatty acid synthase (mtFAS). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 261 residues, a mass of 27 kDa, and is a member of the Short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) protein family. It is known to be localized in the mitochondria and is reported to be widely expressed, particularly abundant in prostate, placenta and kidney. Other alias names for this target include FABG, FABGL, H2-KE6, HKE6, KE6, RING2, SDR30C1, and D6S2245E.
The detection range for different HSD17B8 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
