Recombinant Mouse Selenoprotein P/SEPP1 protein (His tag)

Selenoprotein P (SeP) is an extracellular, monomeric glycoprotein containing up to 10 selenocysteine residues in the polypeptide chain. It is ubiquitously expressed in mammalian tissues, and in human plasma it accounts for at least 40% of the total selenium concentration. SeP binds to heparin and cell membranes, and is associated with endothelial cells. SeP in human plasma protects against peroxynitrite-mediated oxidation and reduces phospholipid hydroperoxide in vitro, in accordance with the presumption that it has a function as an extracellular oxidant defense. Immunochemical assays have demonstrated that its concentration in plasma varies much with selenium intake, but other factors also have an influence.

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
