General description

SEP15 is a selenoprotein that regulates the unfolded protein response. It is modulated by ER stresses. SEP15 variations have been linked to the risk of lung cancer.
Rabbit Anti-SEP15 antibody recognizes bovine, zebrafish, pig, human, mouse, rat, and canine SEP15.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human SEP15

Application

Rabbit Anti-SEP15 antibody is suitable for western blot applications at a concentration of 1μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

SEP15 is a selenoprotein, which contains a selenocysteine (Sec) residue at its active site. Studies in mouse suggest that this selenoprotein may have redox function and may be involved in the quality control of protein folding. The gene that encodes the protein is localized on chromosome 1p31, a genetic locus commonly mutated or deleted in human cancers. This gene encodes a selenoprotein, which contains a selenocysteine (Sec) residue at its active site. The selenocysteine is encoded by the UGA codon that normally signals translation termination. The 3′ UTR of selenoprotein genes have a common stem-loop structure, the sec insertion sequence (SECIS), that is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon rather than as a stop signal. Studies in mouse suggest that this selenoprotein may have redox function and may be involved in the quality control of protein folding. This gene is localized on chromosome 1p31, a genetic locus commonly mutated or deleted in human cancers. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.
