- Product Overview:
11?-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (Type 1) (11?-HSD1) catalyzes the conversion of inactive cortisone to active cortisol in adipose tissue. mRNA and protein for this enzyme have been detected in a wide range of tissues including liver, kidney, testis, lung, heart, and colon.{12000} The enzyme’s expression is developmentally regulated, suggesting its importance in regulation of glucocorticoid action during embryonic development.{11999} Over-expression of 11?-HSD1 results in visceral obesity and metabolic syndrome including insulin-resistant diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hyperphagia.{9545} Cayman’s 11?-HSD1 Polyclonal Antibody detects a 32 kDa protein in human, mouse, and rat liver samples by western blot analysis. The antibody can be used on paraffin-embedded tissue sections to detect 11?-HSD1 expression.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
