" /> SELENOP wt Allele - CISMeF





Preferred Label : SELENOP wt Allele;

NCIt synonyms : SEPP; Selenoprotein P, Plasma,1 Gene; Selenoprotein P, Plasma, 1 Gene; SELP; SeP; SEPP1; Selenoprotein P wt Allele;

NCIt definition : Human SELENOP wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 5q12 and is approximately 88 kb in length. This allele, which encodes selenoprotein P, plays a role in selenium distribution.;

NCIt note : Selenium is found not as a cofactor in mammalian proteins but as a selenocysteine residue, which is encoded by UGA. In order for the UGA codon to be translated as a selenocysteine rather than a stop codon, a stem-loop structure called a selenocysteine insertion sequence (SECIS) must be present in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of the selenoprotein mRNA.
