Gene information for SECISBP2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID79048
Official gene symbolSECISBP2
Full nameSECIS binding protein 2
Aliases,DKFZp686C09169,SBP2,
Gene summaryThe incorporation of selenocysteine into a protein requires the concerted action of an mRNA element called a sec insertion sequence (SECIS), a selenocysteine-specific translation elongation factor and a SECIS binding protein. With these elements in place, a UGA codon can be decoded as selenocysteine. The gene described in this record encodes a nuclear protein that functions as a SECIS binding protein. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a reduction in activity of a specific thyroxine deiodinase, a selenocysteine-containing enzyme, and abnormal thyroid hormone metabolism.
