Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including protein homodimerization activity; selenocysteine lyase activity; and vitamin B6 binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of cellular response to oxidative stress; response to insulin; and selenium compound metabolic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Predicted to be part of catalytic complex. Is expressed in alimentary system; liver; and nervous system. Orthologous to human SCLY (selenocysteine lyase). PHENOTYPE: Mice fed a selenium-deficient diet exhibit mild learning impairment. [provided by MGI curators] |
