Generic protein structure example


17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 13 also known as 17β-HSD type 13 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HSD17B13 gene.[1][2]

17β-HSD13 is significantly up-regulated in the liver of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and enhances lipogenesis.[3]

Inhibitors

In 2023 the first potent and selective HSD17B13 inhibitor, BI-3231, was reported.[4] The inhibitor meets the quality criteria of a 'Donated Chemical Probe' as defined by the Structural Genomics Consortium.[5]
