Gene: SECISBP2
Official Full Name: SECIS binding protein 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is one of the essential components of the machinery involved in co-translational insertion of selenocysteine (Sec) into selenoproteins. Sec is encoded by the UGA codon, which normally signals translation termination. The recoding of UGA as Sec codon requires a Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element; present in the 3' untranslated regions of eukaryotic selenoprotein mRNAs. This protein specifically binds to the SECIS element, which is stimulated by a Sec-specific translation elongation factor. Mutations in this gene have been associated with reduction in enzymatic activity of type II iodothyronine deiodinase (a selenoprotein) and abnormal thyroid hormone metabolism. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

SECISBP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially engineered cellular models that have been created by inactivating the SECISBP2 gene, which encodes for the SECIS binding protein 2—an essential factor in the translational machinery of selenoproteins in eukaryotic cells. These knockout cell lines have been designed to facilitate the study of the biochemical and physiological roles of SECISBP2 by providing a controlled experimental system where its functions can be interrogated without the confounding effects of its endogenous expression.
The primary function of SECISBP2 is to aid in the proper incorporation of selenocysteine, the 21st amino acid, into proteins. It does so by binding to the SECIS (Selenocysteine Insertion Sequence) elements found in the mRNA of selenoproteins, facilitating their translation. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can elucidate the implications of SECISBP2 deficiency on selenoprotein synthesis and explore the biochemical pathways impacted by alterations in selenium metabolism.
In scientific research and clinical settings, SECISBP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable tools for studying diseases linked to selenium deficiency, including certain cancers and metabolic disorders. They can be employed for high-throughput screening of therapeutic agents or to decode the mechanistic pathways that lead to the dysfunction typically associated with aberrant selenoprotein expression.
What sets our SECISBP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from alternatives is their robustness and reproducibility, ensuring reliable and consistent results in experimental applications. Additionally, these cell lines are readily adaptable for various assays, including protein interaction studies, gene expression analysis, and functional characterization of selenoproteins.
