Rabbit Anti-Seladin 1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Seladin 1 is highly expressed in brain, adrenal tissues and adrenal tumours, where this enzyme catalyzes the reduction of the delta-24 double bond of sterol intermediates such as desmosterol, during cholesterol biosynthesis. In addition, Seladin 1 has an anti-apoptotic function by reducing caspase 3 activity during oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and protecting cells against amyloid-beta peptide-induced apoptosis. Several studies have identified a reduction in expression levels of this enzyme in brain regions affected by Alzheimer's disease (hippocampus and the subventricular zone).
Subunit:
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass membrane protein.
Subcellular Location:
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity:
Highly expressed in brain and adrenal gland with moderate expression in liver, lung, spleen, prostate and spinal cord. Low expression in heart, uterus and prostate. Undetectable in blood cells. In the brain, strongly expressed in cortical regions, substantia nigra, caudate nucleus, hippocampus, medulla oblongata and pons. In brains affected by Alzheimer disease, expression in the inferior temporal lobe is substantially lower than in the frontal cortex.
Similarity:
Belongs to the FAD-binding oxidoreductase/transferase type 4 family.
Contains 1 FAD-binding PCMH-type domain.
