11 Beta-HSD1 Polyclonal Antibody, 100ul[BT-AP00002] Adeno-associated Virus Packaging This gene is localized tohydroxysteroid 11 beta dehydrogenase 1(HSD11B1) Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene is a microsomal enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of the stress hormone cortisol to the inactive metabolite cortisone. In addition, the encoded protein can catalyze the reverse reaction, the conversion of cortisone to cortisol. Too much cortisol can lead to central obesity, and a particular variation in this gene has been associated with obesity and
