Anti-Selenoprotein P antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the SELENOP gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 381 amino acid residues and a mass of 43.2 kDa. It is known to be a secreted protein. A member of the Selenoprotein P protein family, it is known to be involved with brain development and post-embryonic development. Post-translational modifications have been described, including phosphorylation and glycosylation.
The selenoprotein P marker can be used to characterize Thymic Macrophages, Thymic Cortical Macrophages, and Thymic Medullary Macrophages.* Other names for this target antigen include SEPP, SEPP1, SeP, selenoprotein P, plasma, 1, and SELP. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of Selenoprotein P antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
