Used in biomedical research to detect and quantify 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzymes produced by microorganisms. This kit is particularly useful in studies related to steroid metabolism, hormonal regulation, and microbial endocrinology. It enables researchers to measure enzyme activity in cell cultures, fermentation samples, or environmental microbiological samples, supporting investigations into microbial contributions to steroid transformations. Commonly applied in academic research, pharmaceutical development, and diagnostic laboratories exploring hormone-related pathways influenced by microbial activity.
