gene: secs-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in selenocysteine incorporation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Expressed in head neurons and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 2D. Is an ortholog of human SEPSECS (Sep (O-phosphoserine) tRNA:Sec (selenocysteine) tRNA synthase).
