This CCDS ID represents a selenoprotein that is functionally sensitive to selenium levels (e.g., PMID:14642406). Position 73 of the protein is a selenocysteine residue, which is cotranslationally incorporated when a UGA codon, which is normally a stop codon, is recognized by a specific selenocysteyl-tRNA in conjunction with a stem-loop SECIS element in the 3' UTR.
Red highlighting indicates amino acids encoded across a splice junction.
Mouse over the nucleotide or protein sequence below and click on the highlighted codon or residue to select the pair. This works on the replacement symbol in the Translation Exceptions section also.
Translation Exceptions: replace the symbol * (codon TGA) with U at amino acid position 73
