SELM Knockout 293T Cell Lysate Summary

• Preparation Method: Knockout achieved by using CRISPR/Cas9,10 bp deletion in exon 1 and 1 bp deletion in exon 1 and 1 bp insertion in exon 1
• Gene: SELENOM

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Western Blot
• Application Notes: You will receive 1 vial (100ug) of knockout cell lysate and 1 vial (100ug) of Parental cell lysate. Lysate can be diluted with 1X SDS sample buffer and will be stable at -20 degrees C for 12 months. Minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Packaging, Storage & Formulations

• Storage: Store at -20C short term. Aliquot and store at -80C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
• Buffer: 0.1 mg cell homogenate lyophilized in RIPA buffer made with double-knockout cell lines.
• Concentration: LYOPH
• Reconstitution Instructions: To use as WB negative control, spin down briefly and resuspend in 100 uL 1xSDS sample buffer (2% SDS, 60 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 10% Glycerol, 0.02% Bromophenol blue, 60 mM beta-mercaptoethanol). Boil the lysate for 3 - 5 minutes before loading it onto gel.

Lysate Details for Array

• Type: Knockout 293T Cell

Notes

Powered by EDIGENE.
Validation of antibody specificity is critical and verification of antibody performance against knockout samples is one way to guarantee that an antibody recognizes a specific target. Novus' KO cell lysate can be used as a negative control for western blots and to confirm the specificity of antibodies.

Background

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the selenoprotein M/SEP15 family. The exact function of this protein is not known. It is localized in the perinuclear region, is highly expressed in the brain, and may be involved in neurodegenerative disorders. Transgenic mice with targeted deletion of this gene exhibit increased weight gain, suggesting a role for this gene in the regulation of body weight and energy metabolism. This protein is a selenoprotein, containing the rare amino acid selenocysteine (Sec). Sec is encoded by the UGA codon, which normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs contain a conserved stem-loop structure, designated the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element, that is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon, rather than as a stop signal.
