Function

Required for Ca(2+) flux in immune cells and plays a role in T-cell proliferation and in T-cell and neutrophil migration (PubMed:21220695). Involved in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) of soluble glycosylated proteins (By similarity). Required for palmitoylation and cell surface expression of CD36 and involved in macrophage uptake of low-density lipoprotein and in foam cell formation (PubMed:23444136). Together with ZDHHC6, required for palmitoylation of ITPR1 in immune cells, leading to regulate ITPR1 stability and function (PubMed:25368151). Plays a role in protection of cells from ER stress-induced apoptosis (By similarity). Protects cells from oxidative stress when overexpressed in cardiomyocytes (By similarity).

Supplementary info

Activity summary

The protein SELK also known as selenoprotein K plays an important role in cellular processes. SELK is a small protein with a mass of about 11.4 kDa. It is characterized by the presence of the amino acid selenocysteine which is rare and important for its function. SELK produces in various tissues including heart skeletal muscle and liver. It locates in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane where it interacts with other proteins to contribute to molecular processes essential for cell homeostasis.

Biological function summary

SELK influences the regulation of calcium flux in cells affecting cellular signaling and immune responses. It is not a stand-alone actor but associates with other proteins to form multi-protein complexes that facilitate these cellular functions. SELK participates in processes like antioxidant defense and endoplasmic reticulum stress response which protects cells from damage. By modulating the immune response SELK plays an important role in maintaining balance in the immune system.

Pathways

This protein interacts in the oxidative stress pathways and plays a role in calcium signaling. In oxidative stress pathways SELK helps protect cells against reactive oxygen species maintaining cellular health. It works closely with proteins such as selenoprotein S and other antioxidant defense proteins. In calcium signaling SELK helps regulate calcium ion flow across cellular membranes supporting various cellular functions essential for those pathways.

Associated diseases and disorders

SELK connects to cardiovascular diseases and autoimmune disorders. Its involvement in regulating immune responses and calcium flux associates with the pathogenesis of these conditions. In cardiovascular diseases abnormal SELK expression may contribute to heart abnormalities by interacting with calcium-modulating proteins like calnexin. In autoimmune disorders a dysregulated SELK function may affect immune balance and lead to immune system malfunction. Understanding SELK interactions gives insights into these diseases and potential therapeutic approaches.
