Target Information

This gene encodes a member of the family of pyridine nucleotide oxidoreductases. The protein reduces thioredoxins as well as other substrates, and plays a role in selenium metabolism and protection against oxidative stress.
The functional enzyme is thought to be a homodimer which uses FAD as a cofactor. Each subunit contains a selenocysteine (Sec) residue required for catalytic activity.
The selenocysteine is encoded by the UGA codon that normally signals translation termination. The 3′ UTR of selenocysteine-containing genes has a common stem-loop structure, the SECIS element, necessary for recognizing UGA as a Sec codon rather than as a stop signal.
Alternative splicing results in several transcript variants encoding the same or different isoforms.
