HSD11B1(Corticosteroid 11-beta-dehydrogenase isozyme 1) is also named as HSD11, HSD11L,11-DH and 11-beta-HSD1.It is a microsomal enzyme, which acts mainly as a NADP(H)- dependent reductase converting inactive cortisone (E) to active cortisol (F), thus regulating intracellular F access to glucocorticoid receptor. This enzyme is widely expressed not only in liver and adipose tissue, but also in adrenal, ovary and decidua.Western blot analysis in human liver, using a specific11-beta-HSD1 antibody, showed two bands at approximately 34 and 68 kDa confrming the dimeric nature of 11-beta-HSD1 in liver and In omental adipose tissue, an additional band of 50 kDa was strongly expressed.

Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% NFDM/TBST for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody (ET1706-27) at 1/2,000 dilution was used in 5% NFDM/TBST at 4℃ overnight. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG - HRP Secondary Antibody (HA1001) at 1/50,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature.
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human liver tissue with Rabbit anti-HSD11B1 antibody (ET1706-27) at 1/400 dilution.
The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0) for 20 minutes. The tissues were blocked in 1% BSA for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (ET1706-27) at 1/400 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
