Description
|
11beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (Type 1) (11beta-HSD1) catalyzes the conversion of inactive cortisone to active cortisol in adipose tissue. mRNA and protein for this enzyme have been detected in a wide range of tissues including liver, kidney, testis, lung, heart, and colon. The enzyme's expression is developmentally regulated, suggesting its importance in regulation of glucocorticoid action during embryonic development. Over-expression of 11beta-HSD1 results in visceral obesity and metabolic syndrome including insulin-resistant diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hyperphagia. Cayman Chemical's 11beta-HSD1 Polyclonal Antibody can be used for WB and IHC (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis for 11beta-HSD1 on samples of human, murine, and rat origin. Other applications for use of this antibody have not yet been tested. The antibody detects a 32 kDa protein in human, murine, and rat liver samples by WB analysis.
