epitope corresponding to amino acids 37-84 mapping within an internal region of Selenoprotein K of human origin
Modification Notes
Selenoprotein K (SELK), also known as HSPC030, is a 94 amino acid that belongs to the selenoprotein family which contains the rare twenty-first amino acid, selenocysteine (sec) that is used in ribosome-mediated protein synthesis. The 3' UTR of selenoprotein genes have a common stem-loop structure known as the sec insertion sequence (SECIS), which is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a sec codon rather than as a stop signal. Unlike the other 20 amino acids in protein, sec is biosynthesized from its tRNA. Widely expressed, Selenoprotein K localizes to endoplasmic reticulum and is found at high levels in heart, where it may function as an antioxidant. Overexpression of Selenoprotein K attenuates intracellular reactive oxygen species level and guards cardiomyocytes from oxidative stress-induced toxicity.
