Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects (3R)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (gene HSD17B8) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 27.0 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 34 kDa.
HSD17B8 is a mitochondrial short-chain dehydrogenase that forms, with CBR4, the 3-ketoacyl-ACP reductase complex of mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis. It serves as a scaffolding subunit that stabilizes this complex, and it can also act on some steroid and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA substrates in vitro.

| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HepG2 cells, human HeLa cells, rat liver tissue, mouse liver tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): Jurkat cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human HSD17B8 fragment (Asp42–Asp244), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places (3R)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase in the mitochondrion matrix. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Widely expressed, particularly abundant in prostate, placenta and kidney. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
