Recombinant human 17 beta-HSD10/HSD17B10 protein
HSD17B10 is a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily. This mitochondrial protein catalyzes the oxidation of a wide variety of fatty acids, alcohols, and steroids. HSD17B10 plays an important role in processing steroid hormones and fats, and also helps break down the protein building block (amino acid) isoleucine. This enzyme is also necessary for several chemical reactions involving female sex hormones (estrogens) and male sex hormones (androgens) . It is essential for maintaining appropriate levels of male and female sex hormones. This protein may contribute to the neuronal dysfunction associated with Alzheimer disease. Recombinant HSD17B10 protein was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
