HDL human native protein.

Application

Anti-HDL antibody produced in chicken is suitable for western blotting analysis at a dilution of 1:500, for tissue or cell staining at a dilution of 1:200.

Biochem/physiol Actions

11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 is an NADPH-dependent enzyme highly expressed in metabolic tissues that include liver, adipose tissue and the central nervous system. It may contribute to the loss of muscle strength with age and is a key component of sarcopenia. Inhibition of HDL gene may have some therapeutic potential in sarcopenia. HDL gene variation may affect the physiological cortisol levels and the severity of age-related osteoporosis. It is involved in regenerating active glucocorticoids, that are selectively elevated in adipose tissue in human obesity and metabolic syndrome, both associated with chronic low-grade inflammation. HDL acts as an oxidoreductase to yield active glucocorticoids, cortisol or corticosterone. It is expressed in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) and negatively regulates proliferation of NHEKs.
