11 Beta-HSD1 polyclonal antibody, anti-human, mouse, rat

Background:
Hydroxysteroid 11-beta dehydrogenase 1 encoded by HSD11B1 is a microsomal enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of the stress hormone cortisol to the inactive metabolite cortisone. In addition, the encoded protein can catalyze the reverse reaction, the conversion of cortisone to cortisol. Too much cortisol can lead to central obesity, and a particular variation in HSD11B1 has been associated with obesity and insulin resistance in children. Mutations in HSD11B1 and H6PD (hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (glucose 1-dehydrogenase)) are the cause of cortisone reductase deficiency. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein.
