The HSD11B2 Polyclonal Antibody (CAB8077) is a valuable tool for researchers studying HSD11B2, an enzyme involved in the conversion of cortisone to cortisol in the target tissues of glucocorticoids. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high specificity and sensitivity towards human samples, making it an excellent choice for Western blot applications.HSD11B2 plays a crucial role in regulating the balance of active and inactive glucocorticoids, which are hormones involved in a wide range of physiological processes such as metabolism, inflammation, and stress response.
Dysregulation of HSD11B2 has been linked to various metabolic disorders and inflammatory conditions, making it a potential therapeutic target for these diseases.By using the HSD11B2 Polyclonal Antibody, researchers can accurately detect and quantify the expression of HSD11B2 in different cell types and tissues, providing valuable insights into its role in health and disease. This antibody is a valuable tool for studies in endocrinology, metabolism, and drug development, ultimately contributing to the advancement of medical research and the development of novel therapies.

There are at least two isozymes of the corticosteroid 11-beta-dehydrogenase, a microsomal enzyme complex responsible for the interconversion of cortisol and cortisone. The type I isozyme has both 11-beta-dehydrogenase (cortisol to cortisone) and 11-oxoreductase (cortisone to cortisol) activities. The type II isozyme, encoded by this gene, has only 11-beta-dehydrogenase activity. In aldosterone-selective epithelial tissues such as the kidney, the type II isozyme catalyzes the glucocorticoid cortisol to the inactive metabolite cortisone, thus preventing illicit activation of the mineralocorticoid receptor. In tissues that do not express the mineralocorticoid receptor, such as the placenta and testis, it protects cells from the growth-inhibiting and/or pro-apoptotic effects of cortisol, particularly during embryonic development. Mutations in this gene cause the syndrome of apparent mineralocorticoid excess and hypertension.
