Summary | |||
This gene encodes a selenoprotein containing a selenocysteine (Sec) residue, which is encoded by the UGA codon that normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs contain a conserved stem-loop structure, the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element that is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon rather than as a stop signal. This protein is highly expressed in skeletal muscle and brain in mammals. It belongs to the SelWTH family, which possesses a thioredoxin-like fold and a conserved CxxU (C is cysteine, U is Sec) motif, suggesting a redox function for this gene. Studies in mouse show that this selenoprotein is involved in muscle growth and differentiation, and in the protection of neurons from oxidative stress during neuronal development. A paralog of this gene is found on chromosome 3 (GeneID:101731107). [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017] | |||

XB-GENE-993075 was previously associated with GeneID:100145402, which was withdrawn because it was based on a zebrafish transcript (BC160969.1) that was erroneouslyannotated as Xenopus tropicalis.
He moved XB-GENE-993075 and the official nomenclature (selenow, selenoprotein W) to GeneID:100485593, which now represents Xt selenow gene.
While reviewing this locus, he found another paralog of selenow (GeneID:101731107) on chromosome 3, which is restricted to fish and frog (PMID:22479358). This locus needs official nomenclature.
To comply with Gladyshev et al.'s recommendation for naming paralogs withsuffixes on the symbols (PMID:27645994, Table 3), he suggested the following nomenclature for the 2 paralogs:
current symbol name
selenow (XB-GENE-993075) > selenow1 selenoprotein W1
