Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** SEPSECS is a tRNA-specific selenium transferase enzyme, crucial for the incorporation of selenocysteine into proteins. This process, mediated by SEPSECS, ensures the proper functioning of selenoproteins, which play vital roles in antioxidant defense, immune system regulation, and cellular homeostasis. Notably, SEPSECS is involved in the conversion of seryl-tRNA to selenocysteine-tRNA, a specific reaction necessary for selenocysteine incorporation into target proteins. **Pathways and Functions:** The SEPSECS gene is integral to several cellular pathways, including: 1. **Selenocysteine Synthesis**: SEPSECS is responsible for converting seryl-tRNA to selenocysteine-tRNA, a critical step in selenocysteine metabolism. 2. **Protein Binding**: SEPSECS interacts with various tRNA molecules, facilitating the incorporation of selenocysteine into target proteins. 3. **Antioxidant Defense**: Selenoproteins, which rely on SEPSECS for selenocysteine incorporation, play a vital role in mitigating oxidative stress and maintaining cellular homeostasis. 4. **Immune System Regulation**: SEPSECS is expressed in various immune cells, suggesting its involvement in immune system function and regulation. **Clinical Significance:** The elucidation of SEPSECS's role in selenocysteine metabolism has significant implications for our understanding of immune system disorders. Dysregulation of selenocysteine metabolism has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Autoimmune Disorders**: Imbalances in selenocysteine metabolism may contribute to autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. 2. **Neurodegenerative Diseases**: Selenoprotein dysfunction has been linked to neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. 3. **Cancer**: SEPSECS expression has been observed in various types of cancer, suggesting its potential role in cancer development and progression. In conclusion, the SEPSECS gene is a crucial component of selenocysteine metabolism, with significant implications for our understanding of immune system function and regulation. Further research into the pathways and functions of SEPSECS will provide valuable insights into the clinical significance of this gene and its potential applications in the treatment of immune-related disorders.

This is a preview of the gene's schema. Only a few entries are kept for 'singleCellExpressions,' 'mRNAExpressions,' and other large data arrays for visualization purposes. You can zoom in with the mouse wheel for a closer view, and the text will adjust automatically if necessary. For the full schema, download it here.
