Anti-DHRS9 Antibody

Dehydrogenase/reductase SDR family member 9;1.1.-.-;3-alpha hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase;3-alpha-HSD; NADP-dependent retinol dehydrogenase/reductase; RDH-E2; RDHL; Retinol dehydrogenase 15; Short chain dehydrogenase/reductase family 9C member 4; Short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase retSDR8; Tracheobronchial epithelial cell-specific retinol dehydrogenase; RDH-TBE; DHRS9; RDH15, SDR9C4; UNQ835/PRO1773;

Highly expressed in trachea and epidermis. Detected at lower levels in spinal cord, bone marrow, brain, tongue, esophagus, heart, colon, testis, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle and lymph node.

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE) .

3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase that converts 3- alpha-tetrahydroprogesterone (allopregnanolone) to dihydroxyprogesterone and 3-alpha-androstanediol to dihydroxyprogesterone. May play a role in the biosynthesis of retinoic acid from retinaldehyde, but seems to have low activity with retinoids. Can utilize both NADH and NADPH.
