Overview
Recombinant Human Estradiol 17-beta-dehydrogenase 11 (HSD17B11) is a recombinant protein reagent derived from Homo sapiens (Human) and produced in E.coli. It is commonly used to support Metabolism research by enabling enzyme activity assays, kinetics/structure–function studies and inhibitor or substrate screening in controlled in vitro settings.
Key elements and design rationale
- Expressed region: 20-300aa. Region selection can focus on functional domains, improve solubility, or isolate interaction surfaces for targeted studies.
- Expression system: E.coli. Expression host can influence folding and the presence/absence of post-translational modifications.
- Tag / fusion: N-terminal 10xHis-tagged and C-terminal Myc-tagged. Tags can support purification and detection; evaluate potential tag effects when studying sensitive interactions.
- Molecular weight (reported): 35.8 kDa. Apparent size may vary with tags, processing, and gel conditions.
When comparing results across batches or platforms, interpret signals in the context of construct design (region, tags) and expression host, especially for modification-dependent interactions.
Biological background
The gene commonly associated with this target is HSD17B11. HSD17B11 refers to a protein target that is studied across multiple biological contexts; annotations and nomenclature can vary by species and isoform. This product corresponds to the Homo sapiens (Human) sequence context, which can be important when comparing homologs or orthologs across model systems. For curated functional annotations, domains, and sequence features, consult primary databases (e.g., UniProt/NCBI) and the recent literature for the specific organism and isoform.
Research relevance and current trends
- Quantifying enzyme activity, substrate specificity, and cofactor dependence in metabolic pathways.
- Connecting metabolic state to cellular phenotypes using targeted protein reagents and quantitative assays.
- Integrating multi-omics measurements with protein-level readouts to refine pathway models and regulatory mechanisms.
Relevance: Can convert androstan-3-alpha,17-beta-diol (3-alpha-diol) to androsterone in vitro, suggesting that it may participate in androgen metabolism during steroidogenesis. May act by metabolizing compounds that stimulate steroid synthesis and/or by generating metabolites that inhibit it. Has no activity toward DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), or A-dione (4-androste-3,17-dione), and only a slight activity toward testosterone to A-dione. Tumor-associated antigen in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
Common research applications
- Enzyme activity assays and kinetics measurements with defined substrates/cofactors.
- Inhibitor, activator, or substrate screening in biochemical assay formats.
- Structure–function analysis to interpret how sequence changes impact catalytic performance.
In quantitative assay development, changes in binding or activity readouts are typically interpreted relative to appropriate negative/positive controls and, where possible, orthogonal assay formats that support the same conclusion.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Recombinant constructs may represent a defined region (domain) rather than the full-length protein; interpret results in the context of the expressed region.
- Tag or fusion elements can aid purification and detection but may influence binding surfaces or oligomerization; consider tag controls when relevant.
- Species and isoform differences can affect interaction partners and post-translational modifications; align experimental controls to the intended biological context.
- E. coli expression can limit eukaryotic post-translational modifications; for modification-dependent biology, interpret results accordingly.
