Description
This gene encodes a selenoprotein, which contains a
selenocysteine (Sec) residue at its active site. The selenocysteine
is encoded by the UGA codon that normally signals translation
termination. The 3' UTR of selenoprotein genes have a common
stem-loop structure, the sec insertion sequence (SECIS), that is
necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon rather than as
a stop signal. This selenoprotein is localized to the endoplasmic
reticulum and is highly expressed in the heart, where it may
function as an antioxidant
