Description: The HSD17B4 gene encodes an enzyme involved in peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation. It was first identified as a 17-beta-estradiol dehydrogenase. Peroxisomal beta-oxidation of fatty acids is catalyzed by 3 enzymes: acyl-CoA oxidase; the D-bifunctional enzyme with enoyl-CoA-hydratase and D-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity, and 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase. The D- and L-bifunctional proteins have different substrate specificities. The D-bifunctional protein catalyzes the formation of 3-ketoacyl-CoA intermediates from both straight-chain and 2-methyl-branched-chain fatty acids and also acts in shortening cholesterol for bile acid formation. In contrast, the L-specific bifunctional protein does not have the latter 2 activities.
Immunogen: An amino acid sequence from the C-terminus of human HSD17B4 (NIMLSQKLQMILKDYAKL) was used as the immunogen for this 17-beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 4 antibody (100% homologous in human, mouse and rat).
Storage: After reconstitution, the 17-beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 4 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
