HSD17B2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 2, which is encoded by the HSD17B2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to catalyze the NAD-dependent oxidation of the highly active 17beta-hydroxysteroids, such as estradiol (E2), testosterone (T), and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), to their less active forms and thus regulates the biological potency of these steroids. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 387 residues, a mass of 42.8 kDa, and is a member of the Short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) protein family. It is known to be localized in the ER and is notably expressed in placenta. Other alias names for this target include HSD17, SDR9C2, 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2, 17-beta-HSD 2, 20 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, and EDH17B2.
There are HSD17B2 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 0.1 ng/mL and as high as 35 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
