Vectors for Rat Selenok

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol Selenok
  • Species Rat (Rattus norvegicus)
  • Offical Full Name selenoprotein K
  • Other Aliases Selk
  • Other Desigations selenoprotein K; heat shock protein
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the selenoprotein K family. It is a transmembrane protein that is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and is involved in ER-associated degradation (ERAD) of misfolded, glycosylated proteins. It also has a role in the protection of cells from ER stress-induced apoptosis. Knockout studies in mice show the importance of this gene in promoting Ca(2+) flux in immune cells and mounting effective immune response. This protein is a selenoprotein, containing the rare amino acid selenocysteine (Sec). 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. Multiple pseudogenes of this locus have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]
