Human VIMP (Selenoprotein S) ELISA KIT (HUFI04901)

This quantitative ELISA kit from Assay Genie measures Selenoprotein S, also known as VCP-interacting membrane protein (VIMP), in human research samples. Selenoprotein S is an endoplasmic reticulum-resident transmembrane protein that participates in the retrotranslocation and degradation of misfolded proteins through its interaction with the p97/VCP ATPase complex. The protein also modulates inflammatory signaling, with studies linking SelS expression to cytokine release, ER stress response, and immune cell activation. Research applications include investigations into type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, sepsis, and chronic inflammatory disorders where Selenoprotein S polymorphisms and expression levels have been associated with disease susceptibility. Supplied in a 96 Assays format, the kit is intended for research use only, supporting laboratory workflows that require sensitive detection of this selenoprotein in biological specimens.
