Lyophilized powder
Note: While we prioritize shipping the format currently in stock, please specify your format preference in order notes for customized preparation.
Lead Time
Delivery times vary depending on the purchase method and location. Consult your local distributor for precise delivery estimates.
Note: Standard shipping includes blue ice packs. Dry ice shipping requires prior arrangement and incurs additional charges.
Notes
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial briefly before opening to settle the contents. Reconstitute the protein in sterile, deionized water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. For long-term storage, we recommend adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting at -20°C/-80°C. Our standard glycerol concentration is 50%, which can be used as a reference.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on storage conditions, buffer composition, temperature, and protein stability. Generally, liquid formulations have a 6-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C, while lyophilized forms have a 12-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt. Aliquot to prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Target Background

Function

Recombinant Rat Estradiol 17-beta-dehydrogenase 12 (Hsd17b12) catalyzes the second step in the four-reaction long-chain fatty acid elongation cycle. This endoplasmic reticulum-bound enzyme adds two carbons to long- and very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) per cycle. Its 3-ketoacyl-CoA reductase activity reduces 3-ketoacyl-CoA to 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA during each elongation cycle. This function contributes to VLCFA production of varying chain lengths, which serve as precursors for membrane lipids and lipid mediators. Hsd17b12 may also convert estrone (E1) to estradiol (E2), participating in estrogen biosynthesis.
