Gene information for MSRB1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID51734
Official gene symbolMSRB1
Full nameselenoprotein X, 1
Aliases,SELR,SELX,SEPX1,SepR,
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 protein belongs to the methionine sulfoxide reductase B (MsrB) family, and it is expressed in a variety of adult and fetal tissues. [provided by RefSeq]
