Gene information for C11orf31 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID280636
Official gene symbolC11orf31
Full namechromosome 11 open reading frame 31
Aliases,C17orf10,SELH,
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. The exact function of this gene is not known, however, selenoproteins are thought to be responsible for most biomedical effects of dietary selenium. [provided by RefSeq]
