HSD17B7 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 7, which is encoded by the HSD17B7 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to be a bifunctional enzyme involved in steroid-hormone metabolism and cholesterol biosynthesis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 341 residues, a mass of 38.2 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 reported to be highly expressed in adrenal gland, liver, lung and thymus. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally phosphorylated and glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include SDR37C1, 3-keto-steroid reductase/17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 7, 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type VII, 17-beta-HSD 7, and PRAP.
Some HSD17B7 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.156 ng/mL 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.
