Description
CYP11B1/CYP11B2 Antibody (PACO00660)
The CYP11B1/CYP11B2 Antibody (PACO00660) is a polyclonal antibody specifically designed for research involving the CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 proteins, which are key enzymes involved in steroid hormone biosynthesis. This antibody, raised in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in a variety of applications, including Western blotting.The CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 enzymes play a crucial role in the synthesis of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids, hormones essential for maintaining fluid balance, electrolyte regulation, and stress responses in the body. Dysregulation of these enzymes has been implicated in various diseases, including hypertension, hyperaldosteronism, and adrenal hyperplasia, making them important targets for research in endocrinology and related fields.
This antibody enables the detection and analysis of CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 proteins in different cell types, providing valuable insight into their roles in steroid hormone production and metabolism. Further understanding of the function and regulation of these enzymes may lead to the development of novel therapeutic interventions for disorders associated with steroid hormone imbalances.

UniProt Protein Function: | CYP11B1: Has steroid 11-beta-hydroxylase activity. In addition to this activity, the 18 or 19-hydroxylation of steroids and the aromatization of androstendione to estrone have also been ascribed to cytochrome P450 XIB. Defects in CYP11B1 are the cause of adrenal hyperplasia type 4 (AH4). AH4 is a form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a common recessive disease due to defective synthesis of cortisol. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is characterized by androgen excess leading to ambiguous genitalia in affected females, rapid somatic growth during childhood in both sexes with premature closure of the epiphyses and short adult stature. Four clinical types: salt wasting (SW, the most severe type), simple virilizing (SV, less severely affected patients), with normal aldosterone biosynthesis, non-classic form or late onset (NC or LOAH), and cryptic (asymptomatic). AH4 patients usually have hypertension. Defects in CYP11B1 are a cause of familial hyperaldosteronism type 1 (FH1). It is a disorder characterized by hypertension, variable hyperaldosteronism, and abnormal adrenal steroid production, including 18-oxocortisol and 18-hydroxycortisol. There is significant phenotypic heterogeneity, and some individuals never develop hypertension. The molecular defect causing hyperaldosteronism familial type 1 is an anti-Lepore-type fusion of the CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 genes. The hybrid gene has the promoting part of CYP11B1, ACTH-sensitive, and the coding part of CYP11B2. Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |

NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This protein localizes to the mitochondrial inner membrane and is involved in the conversion of progesterone to cortisol in the adrenal cortex. Mutations in this gene cause congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 11-beta-hydroxylase deficiency. Transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene.
