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.
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.
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.
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.
