Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C2 (AKR1C2), also known as dihydrodiol dehydrogenase 2 (DDH2), is a cytosolic enzyme that plays a central role in hormone metabolism and steroid regulation. The AKR1C2 Antibody / Hormone Metabolism Enzyme Antibody is designed to detect this enzyme in biological systems where androgen, progesterone, and prostaglandin metabolism are critical. AKR1C2 is encoded on chromosome 10p15 and is a member of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily, which catalyzes NADPH-dependent reduction of aldehydes and ketones involved in metabolic processing.
The AKR1C2 antibody, also referred to as DDH2 antibody and Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C2 antibody in the literature, recognizes a protein localized primarily in the cytoplasm. AKR1C2 is particularly important in the metabolism of steroid hormones, where it functions in the inactivation of dihydrotestosterone and other active androgens, thereby regulating hormone signaling pathways. It also participates in prostaglandin metabolism, linking lipid signaling pathways with broader metabolic regulation.
This AKR1C2 Antibody / Hormone Metabolism Enzyme Antibody is uniquely positioned for studies focused on endocrine regulation and hormone-dependent biological processes. In immunohistochemistry, AKR1C2 is typically observed as cytoplasmic staining in epithelial and glandular tissues, reflecting its role in intracellular metabolic processing. In western blot analysis, AKR1C2 is detected as a band corresponding to its predicted molecular weight, supporting evaluation of expression across tissues and experimental models.
AKR1C2 is expressed in liver, prostate, and other hormone-responsive tissues where steroid metabolism is active. In prostate biology, AKR1C2 contributes to androgen regulation and has been implicated in hormone-dependent disease processes. Altered expression of AKR1C2 has been associated with cancer progression and therapeutic resistance, where changes in steroid metabolism can influence tumor growth and response to treatment.
The mouse monoclonal clone CPTC-AKR1C2-1 provides consistent detection of AKR1C2 in research applications focused on hormone metabolism and enzymatic regulation. This AKR1C2 Antibody / Hormone Metabolism Enzyme Antibody is suitable for detecting AKR1C2 expression in studies of endocrine signaling, metabolic regulation, and disease-associated changes in steroid processing pathways. Its performance supports detailed evaluation of AKR1C2 in both normal physiology and pathological conditions.
This antibody supports investigation of hormone metabolism, steroid regulation, and disease-associated changes in AKR1C2 expression.
This antibody is part of a broader antibody panel offered by NSJ Bioreagents.
Optimal dilution of the AKR1C2 Antibody / Hormone Metabolism Enzyme Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant human full-length AKR1C2 protein was used as the immunogen for the AKR1C2 antibody.
Store the AKR1C2 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
