This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
Immunogen
This SELT antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 48-75 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human SELT.
SELT 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.
