C11ORF31

SYNONYMS
Chromosome 11 Open Reading Frame 31, Selenoprotein H, SELH, C17orf10, C11orf31.

INTRODUCTION
C11ORF31 (Chromosome 11 Open Reading Frame 31) is a selenoprotein, which contains a selenocysteine (Sec) residue at its active site. The selenocysteine is encoded by the UGA codon which ordinarily signals translation termination. The 3' UTR of selenoprotein genes have a mutual stem-loop structure, the sec insertion sequence (SECIS), which is essential for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon rather than as a stop signal. The exact function of the C11ORF31 gene is not known, however, selenoproteins are assumed to be responsible for most biomedical effects of dietary selenium. C11ORF31 is involved in a redox-related process.

DESCRIPTION
C11ORF31 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 145 amino acids (1-122) and having a molecular mass of 15.8 kDa.
C11ORF31 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
