The incorporation of selenocysteine into a protein
requires the concerted action of an mRNA element called a sec
insertion sequence (SECIS), a selenocysteine-specific translation
elongation factor and a SECIS binding protein. With these elements
in place, a UGA codon can be decoded as selenocysteine. The gene
described in this record encodes a nuclear protein that functions
as a SECIS binding protein. Mutations in this gene have been
associated with a reduction in activity of a specific thyroxine
deiodinase, a selenocysteine-containing enzyme, and abnormal
thyroid hormone metabolism.1) Meplan, C., et al. Carcinogenesis 31(6):1074-1079(2010)
