Gene information for SELM (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID140606
Official gene symbolSELM
Full nameselenoprotein M
Aliases,MGC40146,SEPM,
Gene summaryThis 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 gene is expressed in a variety of tissues, and the protein is localized to the perinuclear structures. [provided by RefSeq]
