CYP17A1 Antibody / Steroid 17-Alpha-Hydroxylase Antibody detects cytochrome P450 family 17 subfamily A member 1 (CYP17A1), a microsomal enzyme with essential functions in steroid hormone biosynthesis. Also known as P450c17, CYP17A1 possesses both steroid 17-alpha-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities. These catalytic functions help direct steroid precursors toward the production of glucocorticoids and sex steroids, making CYP17A1 an important regulator of adrenal and gonadal steroidogenesis.
CYP17A1 is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily and is localized primarily to the endoplasmic reticulum of steroidogenic cells. Its 17-alpha-hydroxylase activity converts pregnenolone and progesterone to their corresponding 17-alpha-hydroxylated products. Its 17,20-lyase activity subsequently contributes to the generation of androgen precursors, including dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). The relative activities of CYP17A1 are influenced by interactions with accessory proteins and regulatory mechanisms that help control steroid production in different tissues.
Steroid 17-alpha-hydroxylase is highly relevant to studies of adrenal and gonadal function, endocrine signaling and androgen biosynthesis. Genetic defects affecting CYP17A1 can disrupt normal steroid hormone production and cause congenital adrenal hyperplasia associated with 17-alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency. Conversely, increased or dysregulated androgen production involving CYP17A1 is important in hormone-dependent disease. CYP17A1 is particularly relevant to prostate cancer research because androgen synthesis can support androgen receptor signaling and tumor growth, including in advanced disease.
Clone 20C02 is a recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody developed for detection of CYP17A1. The antibody has been evaluated by Western blot and immunohistochemistry, supporting its use for examining steroid 17-alpha-hydroxylase expression in cells and tissues. Recombinant production provides a defined antibody sequence and supports consistent performance across manufacturing lots.
NSJ Bioreagents supplies antibodies for research into endocrine signaling, steroid metabolism and cancer biology. A CYP17A1 Antibody can be used to investigate steroid 17-alpha-hydroxylase expression in studies of steroidogenesis, androgen biosynthesis, adrenal and gonadal biology, endocrine disorders and hormone-dependent cancer.
