The Mouse Monoclonal anti-HSD17B13 antibody (Clone HSD17B13-13106) (ABIN7868554) specifically detects HSD17B13 in IHC (p).
The antibody is reactive with Human samples.
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.
