Abstract excerpt
Selenoprotein N (SelN or SELENON) is a selenium-containing protein of the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR), encoded by the SEPN1 gene. In skeletal muscle, SelN is particularly important for regulating SR calcium homeostasis. It acts as a calcium sensor, modulating the activity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium pump (SERCA) through a redox-dependent mechanism. Loss-of-function mutations in the SEPN1...
