Background: 17β-HSD4 (17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 4) is also known as peroxisomal multifunctional enzyme/protein 2 (MFE-2/MFP-2), D-bifunctional enzyme or 17-β Estradiol 17β-HSD4 (17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 4) is also known as peroxisomal multifunctional enzyme/protein 2 (MFE-2/MFP-2), D-bifunctional enzyme or 17-β Estradiol dehydrogenase type IV. It belongs to the 17β-HSD family of proteins that regulate the availability of steroids within various tissues throughout the body. 17β-HSD4 inactivates Estradiol through its oxidative activity but it is primarily involved in peroxisomal fatty acid and cholesterol β-oxidation. It has a multi-domain structure: the dehydrogenase domain is fused to a hydratase and a lipid transfer domain. 17β-HSD4 is a target protein of chromeceptin and it is essential for the downstream activation of Stat6. 17β-HSD4-deficient patients exhibit Zellweger-like syndrome and die within the first year of life. They display neuronal migration defects, facial dysmorphisms, severe hypotonia and convulsions in the neonatal period.

Purification and Purity: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).

Storage and Stability: Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Specificity: HSD17B4 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of HSD17B4 protein.

Bioworld Molecular Weight: ~ 79 kDa
