Description
Product Characteristics: This antibody is designed, produced, and is suitable for Cancer, Immunology and Nuclear Signaling research. Selenophosphate synthetase 1 (SPS1) (also known as selinide water dikinase or selenium donor protein 1) is the homolog of the SelD gene product in E. coli. In E. coli, SelD generates the selenium donor for selenocysteine tRNA biosynthesis. The function of SPS1 in mammals is still unknown but appears to differ from that of E. coli SelD.
Synonyms: Selenide, water dikinase 1 EC=2.7.9.3 Selenophosphate synthetase 1 Selenium donor protein 1
Target Information: This gene encodes an enzyme that synthesizes selenophosphate from selenide and ATP. Selenophosphate is the selenium donor used to synthesize selenocysteine, which is co-translationally incorporated into selenoproteins at in-frame UGA codons. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]
