The protein this gene encodes for is often called Sep15 however in the case of mice, it is named SelM. This protein is an selenoprotein only found in eukaryotes. This domain has a thioredoxin-like domain and a surface accessible active site redox motif. This suggests that they function as thiol-disulfide isomerases involved in disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum.

“Firm-style bean curd insoles cushion feet, absorb perspiration and provide more protein than meat or fish innersoles of twice the weight. Tofu compresses with use, becoming more pungent and flavorful. May be removed when not in use to dry or marinate. Innersoles are ready to eat after 1,200 miles of wear. Each pair provides adult protein requirement for 2 meals. Insoles are sized large to allow for snacks. Recipe booklet included.”
—Alfred Gingold, U.S. humorist. Items From Our Catalogue, “Tofu Innersoles,” Avon Books (1982)
“No domain of nature is quite closed to man at all times.”
