This gene encodes a selenoprotein, which contains aselenocysteine (Sec) residue at its active site. The selenocysteineis encoded by the UGA codon that normally signals translationtermination. The 3" UTR of selenoprotein genes have a commonstem-loop structure, the sec insertion sequence (SECIS), that isnecessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon rather than asa stop signal.

The stated application concentrations are suggested starting points. Titration of the Selenoprotein V antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.

A portion of amino acids 296-324 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the Selenoprotein V antibody.

Aliquot the Selenoprotein V antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
