Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 51091
Gene name Sep (O-phosphoserine) tRNA:Sec (selenocysteine) tRNA synthase
Gene symbol SEPSECS
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
LPPCH2DSLASLA-p35SLA/LPSecS
Chromosome 4
Chromosome location 4p15.2
Summary The amino acid selenocysteine is the only amino acid that does not have its own tRNA synthetase. Instead, this amino acid is synthesized on its cognate tRNA in a three step process. The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the third step in the process,
