Anti-SRD5A2, (N-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit

产品说明

一般描述

Steroid 5α-reductase type 2 (SRD5A2) enzyme is expressed in the male reproductory system and contains an N-terminal testosterone-binding domain and a C-terminal nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-binding domain. The SRD5A2 gene is mapped on the human chromosome at 2p23.1.

免疫原

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human SRD5A2

生化/生理作用

Steroid 5α-reductase type 2 (SRD5A2) enzyme mediates the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Mutations in the SRD5A2 gene are associated with an autosomal recessive form of 46, XY differences disorders of sexual development (DSD) in males characterized by underdeveloped and atypical genitalia. Overexpression of the SRD5A2 gene is associated with androgenic alopecia, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer. This gene is expressed at high levels in androgen-sensitive tissues such as the prostate. The encoded protein is active at acidic pH and is sensitive to the 4-azasteroid inhibitor finasteride. Deficiencies in this gene can result in male pseudo-hermaphroditism, specifically pseudovaginal perineoscrotal hypospadias (PPSH).
