Anti-HSD17B2 Antibody

HSD17B2 (17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2) oxidizes estradiol to estrone and inactivates potent androgens and estrogens in steroid-responsive tissues, and this unconjugated rabbit polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com is raised against the human protein for western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence detection.

Supplied as a 100 µl aliquot of polyclonal serum from a rabbit host, the reagent recognizes the native human protein in fixed and unfixed samples. Investigators studying estrogen-regulated tissues, placental steroid metabolism, hormone-responsive cancer models, or sex-steroid signaling pathways use HSD17B2 antibodies to map expression patterns at the protein level in cell and tissue preparations.

The unconjugated format keeps both HRP- and fluorophore-conjugated secondary antibodies open as downstream choices, so the same vial supports chromogenic IHC staining, immunoblotting on PVDF or nitrocellulose membranes, and indirect fluorescence imaging of cultured cells or tissue cryosections.
