Primary antibody

Background

This gene encodes a nucleolar protein| which belongs to the SelWTH family. It functions as an oxidoreductase| and has been shown to protect neurons against UVB-induced damage by inhibiting apoptotic cell death pathways| promote mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial function| and suppress cellular senescence through genome maintenance and redox regulation. This protein is a selenoprotein| containing the rare amino acid selenocysteine (Sec) at its active site. Sec is encoded by the UGA codon| which normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs contain a conserved stem-loop structure| designated the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element| that is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon| rather than as a stop signal. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
