17β-HSD2 Antibody (H-12) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects 17β-HSD2 in human samples through various applications including western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). 17β-HSD2, or 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2, is a crucial enzyme in the 17β-HSD family that regulates steroid availability within tissues by converting active steroids, such as estradiol and testosterone, into their inactive forms through oxidative activity. This enzymatic function is vital for maintaining hormonal balance, as 17β-HSD2 influences estrogen levels, which has been linked to various health conditions, including breast cancer, colon cancer, and endometriosis. 17β-HSD2 is predominantly localized in the placenta, endometrium, and prostate, but can also be found in the liver, small intestine, and kidney, highlighting its importance in multiple physiological processes. Additionally, 17β-HSD2 functions as a membrane-bound protein, playing a significant role in cellular signaling and hormone regulation. Notably, Tibolone, a medication used to alleviate climacteric symptoms in menopausal women, exerts part of its therapeutic effects by activating 17β-HSD2, further underscoring this enzyme′s relevance in clinical settings.
