REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.
User storage instructions:
Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.

Seladin 1 also known as DHCR24 (3β-Hydroxysteroid-Δ24 reductase) is an enzyme with a molecular mass of approximately 54 kDa. It plays a role in cholesterol biosynthesis by catalyzing the reduction of a double bond at the C-24 position in sterol precursors. Seladin 1 is expressed in various tissues with high expression in the brain liver and adrenal gland. The enzyme contributes to the maintenance of cellular cholesterol homeostasis and provides neuroprotective functions.
Biological function summary
Seladin 1 plays an important role in cellular processes particularly in response to oxidative stress. The protein is not part of a larger complex but functions independently to reduce highly reactive oxygen species levels in cells. It helps in maintaining cellular integrity and contributes to the survival of neuronal cells under stress conditions. Additionally it provides resistance to oxidative stress-induced apoptosis by modulating intracellular antioxidative defense mechanisms.
Pathways
Seladin 1 plays an integral role in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway and is closely associated with the mevalonate pathway. Its activity directly influences the availability of cholesterol and other sterols impacting membrane fluidity and cellular functions dependent on sterol concentrations. The enzyme interacts with related proteins such as HMG-CoA reductase an important regulatory enzyme within the cholesterol synthesis pathway. These interactions ensure that cellular cholesterol levels are well-regulated to meet physiological demands.
Seladin 1 has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease and certain cancers. In Alzheimer's disease a reduction in Seladin 1 expression correlates with increased susceptibility to amyloid-beta toxicity while its overexpression shows a protective effect. This relationship ties Seladin 1 to amyloid precursor protein processing. In some cancers altered Seladin 1 expression affects tumor growth and progression where it may interact with proteins involved in cell survival pathways. This dual role in both neurodegenerative and cancerous conditions highlights the importance of Seladin 1 in human health.
