Conserved nucleotide sequences in the open reading frame and 3' untranslated region of selenoprotein P mRNA.
15 Jan 1993
Abstract excerpt
Rat liver selenoprotein P contains 10 selenocysteine residues in its primary structure (deduced). It is the only selenoprotein characterized to date that has more than one selenocysteine residue. Selenoprotein P cDNA has been cloned from human liver and heart cDNA libraries and sequenced. The open reading frames are identical and contain a signal peptide, indicating that the protein is secreted by both organs and...
