Name
Selenophosphate synthetase 2
Synonyms
  • CG5025
  • Dsps2
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Predicted to enable purine nucleotide binding activity and selenide, water dikinase activity. Predicted to be involved in selenocysteine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic/larval gut; female germline cell; midgut primordium; and presumptive embryonic/larval system.
FB Description
Selenophosphate synthetase 2 (Sps2) is essential for selenoprotein biosynthesis. It encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of selenophosphate from selenide and/or other selenium metabolites. Selenophosphate is an active selenium donor for the formation of selenocysteine.
