Anti-SH3GL2 Antibody Picoband® (monoclonal, 6I8E1) Fluoro488 Conjugated

Endophilin-A1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SH3GL2 gene. Endophilin proteins are part of a large family of Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain proteins that are involved in cell membrane remodeling. The endophilins are encoded by five genes, which produce endophilin A 1-3 and B 1-2. Endophilins are involved in many cellular mechanisms, such as synaptic vesicle recycling, receptor trafficking, and membrane remodeling processes. Research studies indicate that endophilin 1 (endophilin A1, SH3GL2) can induce different membrane shapes and participate in the morphogenesis of dendritic spines. Endophilin 1 is also involved in regulating blood brain barrier permeability via the EGFR-JNK pathway.

3-oxo-5-beta-steroid 4-dehydrogenase; Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member D1; Delta (4) -3-ketosteroid 5-beta-reductase; Delta (4) -3-oxosteroid 5-beta-reductase; AKR1D1; SRD5B1

Catalyzes the stereospecific NADPH-dependent reduction of the C4-C5 double bond of bile acid intermediates and steroid hormones carrying a delta4-3-one structure to yield an A/B cis-ring junction. This cis-configuration is crucial for bile acid biosynthesis and plays important roles in steroid metabolism. Capable of reducing a broad range of delta-4-3-ketosteroids from C18 (such as, 17beta-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one) to C27 (such as, 7alpha-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one) .
