Biological background

Protein function (datasheet): 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.

Scientific background (datasheet): CYP11B1 (Cytochrome p450, family 11, subfamily B, polypeptide 1), also called Steroid 11-beta-hydroxylase or P450C11, is a steroid hydroxylase found in the zona fasciculata. The CYP11B1 gene functions primarily in mitochondria in the zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex to convert 11-deoxycortisol to cortisol and 11-deoxycorticosterone to corticosterone. CYP11B1 is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. It is mapped on 8q24.3. The CYP11B1 gene contains 9 exons and spans 6.5 kb. Using RT-PCR, Kayes-Wandover and White detected CYP11B1 mRNA in human cardiac tissue samples from left and right atria, aorta, apex, intraventricular septum, and atrioventricular node, as well as whole adult and fetal heart. Ventricles did not express CYP11B1. In patients with 11-beta-hydroxylase deficiency leading to hypertension and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Pascoe et al. identified mutations in the CYP11B1 gene.

Cellular localization (datasheet): Mitochondrion membrane.

• Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
• Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).

Common research applications

• Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
• ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
• Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
• Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
• Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.

As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
