Gene: SELENOM
Official Full Name: selenoprotein Mprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the selenoprotein M/SEP15 family. The exact function of this protein is not known. It is localized in the perinuclear region, is highly expressed in the brain, and may be involved in neurodegenerative disorders. Transgenic mice with targeted deletion of this gene exhibit increased weight gain, suggesting a role for this gene in the regulation of body weight and energy metabolism. This protein is a selenoprotein, containing the rare amino acid selenocysteine (Sec). Sec is encoded by the UGA codon, which normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs contain a conserved stem-loop structure, designated the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element, that is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon, rather than as a stop signal.

SELENOM Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines specifically engineered to lack functional copies of the selenoprotein N gene (SELENOM), which has significant implications for understanding selenium metabolism, cellular redox balance, and associated pathologies. These knockout models facilitate advanced inquiries into the role of SELENOM in cellular processes, notably in muscle and neurodegenerative diseases.
The primary function of the SELENOM gene is to code for a selenoprotein crucial for maintaining thiol redox status and cellular integrity. By utilizing SELENOM knockout cell lines, researchers can elucidate the molecular underpinnings of SELENOM's role in regulating oxidative stress responses and apoptosis pathways. The absence of SELENOM allows for the examination of compensatory mechanisms and provides insights into the essential roles of selenoproteins in health and disease.
In scientific research, these cell lines serve as a valuable tool in clinical studies investigating myopathies, metabolic disorders, and neurological conditions where selenium's influence may be pivotal. Additionally, SELENOM knockout cell lines stand out as resources for pharmaceutical screening and biochemical assays aimed at identifying novel therapeutic agents targeting oxidative stress-related pathologies.
Compared to traditional wild-type cell lines, SELENOM knockout models offer specificity in experimental design, enabling researchers to draw more accurate conclusions related to the manipulation of selenoprotein functions. This specificity reduces background noise in experiments, thus increasing the reliability of results.
For researchers and clinicians focused on the intricacies of selenoprotein functions and their implications in various diseases, SELENOM Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a unique opportunity for innovative discoveries. By harnessing these models, users can contribute to a deeper understanding of selenium biology and its clinical relevance.
