Gene information for Selm (Rattus norvegicus)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID498398
Official gene symbolSelm
Full nameselenoprotein M
AliasesRGD1565037
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.
