There are a number of ELISA Kits available for the measurement of hydroxysteroid (11-beta) dehydrogenase 2, another term for the human protein, hydroxysteroid 11-beta dehydrogenase 2. Other synonyms may include: corticosteroid 11-beta-dehydrogenase isozyme 2, 11-DH2, 11-HSD type II, 11-beta-HSD type II, 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2, 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type II, and NAD-dependent 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. It is encoded by the HSD11B2 gene to yield a protein 405 amino acids in length and 44.1 kDa in size. The protein, an enzyme, is categorized into the Short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. Versions of hydroxysteroid (11-beta) dehydrogenase 2 are present in other organisms, including: Mouse, Rat, Zebrafish, Frog, Chicken.
