The Mouse HSD17B3 (Testosterone 17-beta-dehydrogenase 3) ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the precise measurement of HSD17B3 levels in mouse serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit offers unparalleled sensitivity and specificity, ensuring accurate and consistent results for various research applications. HSD17B3 is a key enzyme involved in steroid hormone metabolism, specifically in the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. Dysregulation of HSD17B3 has been linked to various hormonal disorders and conditions such as prostate cancer, making it a valuable biomarker for studying these diseases and exploring potential therapeutic interventions.
Overall, the Mouse HSD17B3 ELISA Kit from Assay Genie provides researchers with a reliable tool for investigating the role of HSD17B3 in mouse models, contributing to a deeper understanding of hormonal regulation and potential implications for disease management.

Note: The below protocol is a sample protocol. Protocols are specific to each batch/lot. For the correct instructions please follow the protocol included in your kit.
Step
Procedure
1
Reagent & Plate Preparation: Equilibrate TMB substrate for 30 minutes at room temperature. Prepare standards, samples (minimum 1:2 dilution), blanks, assign wells, and pre-wash the plate twice.
2
Sample & Biotin-Antibody Binding: Add 50 µL standard or sample followed by 50 µL biotin-labeled antibody to each well. Mix gently and incubate at 37°C for 45 minutes.
3
Washing: Wash the plate 5 times with wash buffer, allowing 1 minute soak time per wash.
4
Color Development: Add TMB substrate and incubate in the dark at 37°C for 10-20 minutes until color develops.
5
Stop Reaction: Add stop solution to terminate the reaction. The color changes from blue to yellow immediately.
6
Reading: Measure absorbance at 450 nm using a microplate reader.
