Description

TRNAU1AP (tRNA selenocysteine 1 associated protein 1) encodes a protein that binds to selenocysteine tRNA and is involved in selenoprotein synthesis. It plays a role in the incorporation of selenocysteine into proteins, a process essential for antioxidant defense and thyroid hormone metabolism.

Protein Summary

The TRNAU1AP protein, also known as SECp43, is a 43 kDa RNA-binding protein that specifically interacts with selenocysteine tRNA (tRNA[Ser]Sec). It facilitates the efficient recoding of the UGA stop codon as selenocysteine, thereby supporting the synthesis of selenoproteins. The protein is localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm.
