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.

Famous quotes containing the words protein and/or domain:
“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)
“Without metaphor the handling of general concepts such as culture and civilization becomes impossible, and that of disease and disorder is the obvious one for the case in point. Is not crisis itself a concept we owe to Hippocrates? In the social and cultural domain no metaphor is more apt than the pathological one.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
