Anti-HSD17B13 / 7-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 13, clone HSD17B13/13104

0.2 mg/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced), 0.05% sodium azide. Hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 13 (HSD17B13, 17-beta-HSD 13) is an enzyme in the liver that is associated with lipid droplets. It is encoded by the HSD17B13 gene in humans. HSD17B13 levels increase in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and can enhance lipogenesis. However, some studies have shown that loss-of-function variants in HSD17B13 may protect against the progression of NAFLD to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Protein function: Plays a pivotal role in hepatic lipid metabolism (PubMed:29562163). In vitro, it catalyzes the oxidation of a variety of lipid substrates, including 17beta-estradiol, retinol, retinal, and leukotriene B4 (PubMed:29562163, PubMed:30415504, PubMed:32973038).
