Human 11-Beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 (HSD11b1) ELISA Kit

Quantitative measurement of human 11β-HSD1 (11-Beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1), the NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase that converts cortisone to cortisol, is enabled by this colorimetric Assay Genie ELISA kit supplied in a 96 assays format. HSD11b1 is most highly expressed in liver, adipose, and central nervous system tissues, where it amplifies local glucocorticoid signaling and is studied in connection with metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, hepatic gluconeogenesis, and adipocyte differentiation. The kit is intended for research use only and accepts human tissue homogenates and cell lysates, supporting work on glucocorticoid metabolism, selective HSD11b1 inhibitor characterization, and endocrinology of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
