Methanethiol oxidase (SELENBP1)

The protein contains 472 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 52391 Da.

 

Catalyzes the oxidation of methanethiol, an organosulfur compound known to be produced in substantial amounts by gut bacteria (PubMed:29255262). Selenium-binding protein which may be involved in the sensing of reactive xenobiotics in the cytoplasm. May be involved in intra-Golgi protein transport (By similarity). (updated: March 28, 2018)

CLONING

Selenium is an essential nutrient that exhibits potent anticarcinogenic properties, and deficiency of selenium may cause certain neurologic diseases. It has been proposed that the effects of selenium in preventing cancer and neurologic diseases may be mediated by selenium-binding proteins. By sequencing randomly selected human fetal heart cDNAs, followed by searching sequence databases for sequence similarities, Chang et al. (1997) identified a cDNA that has sequence similarity to the mouse 56-kD selenium-binding protein (Sp56) gene. The deduced 472-amino acid human SP56 (SELENBP1) has 87.3% and 86.4% amino acid identity to mouse Sp56 and the acetaminophen metabolite-binding protein AP56, respectively. Northern blot analysis of mouse tissues detected the highest Sp56 expression in liver, kidney, and lung (see also Lanfear et al., 1993).

GENE FUNCTION

Okunuki et al. (2007) identified selenium-binding protein as a candidate retinal autoantigen in patients with Behcet disease (109650). Because anti-SELENBP1 antibody-positive patients showed more frequent ocular inflammation than the antibody-negative patient group, Okunuki et al. (2007) concluded that autoimmunity against this retinal antigen might contribute to the pathogenesis of uveitis in BD patients.

MAPPING

By FISH, Chang et al. (1997) mapped the SELENBP1 gene to 1q21-q22. ... More on the omim web site
