This gene encodes a member of the family of pyridine
nucleotide oxidoreductases. This protein catalyzes the reduction of
thioredoxin, and is implicated in the defense against oxidative
stress. It contains a selenocysteine (Sec) residue (which is
essential for catalytic activity), encoded by a UGA codon, at the
penultimate C-terminal position. The 3' UTR of Sec-containing genes
have a common stem-loop structure, the sec insertion sequence
(SECIS), which is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec
codon rather than as a stop signal. Alternatively spliced
transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for
this gene.1) Gerashchenko, M.V., et al. J. Biol. Chem. 285(7):4595-4602(2010)
