SBP-2 Antibody (2957C2a) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects SBP-2 in human samples through western blotting (WB) and immunoprecipitation (IP) applications. SBP-2, or SECIS-binding protein 2, plays a crucial role in the translation of selenoproteins by specifically binding to the selenocysteine insertion sequence (SECIS) element found in the 3′ untranslated region of selenoprotein mRNAs. This interaction is vital for the proper decoding of the UGA codon as selenocysteine, which is essential for the synthesis of various selenoproteins that are involved in antioxidant defense and redox regulation. SBP-2 is predominantly located in the liver and testis, as well as in hepatoma cells, highlighting its importance in tissues with high metabolic activity. SBP-2′s ability to associate with ribosomal fractions underscores its role in facilitating the incorporation of selenocysteine into proteins, thereby influencing cellular functions related to oxidative stress response. Anti-SBP-2 antibody (2957C2a) is an invaluable tool for researchers studying the mechanisms of selenoprotein synthesis and the broader implications of selenium in human health.
