Anti-HSD17B13 / 7-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 13, clone HSD17B13/13106

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) is an engyme 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).
