Background: 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD), also known as HSD3B1 or HSDB3, is a bifunctional enzyme that plays a crucial role in the synthesis of all classes of hormonal steroids. Two human 3β-HSD proteins, designated type I (3β-HSD) and type II (3β-HSD2), are expressed by different genes and function in different areas of the body. Localized to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and expressed in skin and placenta, 3β-HSD is the type I protein that catalyzes the oxidative conversion of ∂5-ene-3-beta-hydroxy steroid, as well as the conversion of various ketosteroids. Defects in the gene encoding 3β-HSD are associated with classic salt wasting, genital ambiguity, hypogonadism, insulin-resistant polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and an increased susceptibility to prostate cancer. Additionally, congenital deficiency of 3β-HSD activity results in a severe depletion of steroid formation which can be lethal in young children.

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: HSD3B2 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of HSD3B2 protein.
