Preparation and Storage

Background: 17 beta-HSD1/HSD17B1

HSD17B1 (Hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase type 1; also 17  beta ‑HSD1 and E2DH) is a 33-34 kDa member of the short chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) superfamily of molecules. It is a cytoplasmic breast, placental and gonadal enzyme that both converts DHEA to estrogen A-diol, and inactivates DHT through oxidation and reduction. Human HSD17B1 is 328 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains an NADP binding site (aa 10-38) and a steroid catalytic site (aa 210-221). HSD17B1 functions as a 68 kDa noncovalently-linked homodimer. Over aa 2-328, human HSD17B1 shares 65% aa identity with mouse HSD17B1.
