Product Description

Recombinant Human Hydroxysteroid (17-beta) Dehydrogenase 8 (HSD17B8) is an enzyme that plays a significant role in the metabolism of steroids and fatty acids. Belonging to the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) family, HSD17B8 is involved in the conversion of estradiol to estrone, a key step in estrogen biosynthesis. With a molecular weight of approximately 36 kDa, this enzyme facilitates the oxidation and reduction reactions required for the interconversion of hydroxysteroids. Its precise enzymatic activity and involvement in various physiological processes make HSD17B8 a subject of scientific interest and investigation.

Reconstituted store at -20°C or -80°C.We recommend that single use aliquots are prepared to avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

1. Thaw the vial on ice, spin briefly
2. Prepare single-use or stock aliquots. This stage will depend on your final application so please adapt as appropriate. All our proteins are supplied carrier protein-free. If compatible with your work and you are storing at lower concentrations (<50 ug/ml) adding carrier protein is highly advised (usually 1% w/v high purity BSA or equivalent – ensure all buffers are sterile-filtered).
3. Prepare single-use aliquots whenever possible to avoid freeze-thaw cycles which can damage the proteins and reduce bioactivity. Store aliquots at -70 °C (or -20 °C)
4. We recommend sterile filtering after dilution in media or the final working solution
