Function
Converts O-phosphoseryl-tRNA(Sec) to selenocysteinyl-tRNA(Sec) required for selenoprotein biosynthesis.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm
Tissue Specificity: Primarily expressed in liver, pancreas, kidney and lung. Overexpressed in PHA-stimulated T-cells
Disease Association: Pontocerebellar hypoplasia 2D (PCH2D) : A disorder characterized by postnatal onset of progressive atrophy of the cerebrum and cerebellum, microcephaly, profound intellectual disability, spasticity, and variable seizures. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
Pathway: Aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis; selenocysteinyl-tRNA(Sec) biosynthesis; selenocysteinyl-tRNA(Sec) from L-seryl-tRNA(Sec) (archaeal/eukaryal route): step 2/2
