SELENOP (selenoprotein P)

Gene

• Entrez ID: 6414
• Gene name: Selenoprotein P
• Gene symbol: SELENOP
• Synonyms (NCBI Gene): SELP, SEPP, SEPP1, SeP
• Chromosome: 5
• Chromosome location: 5p12
• Summary: This gene encodes a selenoprotein that is predominantly expressed in the liver and secreted into the plasma. This selenoprotein is unique in that it contains multiple selenocysteine (Sec) residues per polypeptide (10 in human), and accounts for most of th

Protein

• UniProt ID: P49908
• Protein name: Selenoprotein P (SeP)
• Protein function: Might be responsible for some of the extracellular antioxidant defense properties of selenium or might be involved in the transport of selenium. May supply selenium to tissues such as brain and testis.
