Rabbit Anti-HSD17B14 antibody
17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases, such as HSD17B14, are primarily involved in metabolism of steroids at the C17 position and also of other substrates, such as fatty acids, prostaglandins, and xenobiotics (Lukacik et al., 2007 [PubMed 17067289]).[supplied by OMIM, Jun 2009]
Function:
HSD17B14 belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. It has NAD-dependent 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity and converts oestradiol to oestrone. The physiological substrate is not known. HSD17B14 acts on oestradiol and 5-androstene-3-beta,17-beta-diol (in vitro). It is highly expressed in brain, placenta, liver and kidney.
Subunit:
Homotetramer.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasmic
Tissue Specificity:
Highly expressed in brain, placenta, liver and kidney.
Similarity:
Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
