Sequence Information
(The original sequence contains two "U"s (red arrows) that have already been mutated to "S" in the above sequence which will be used to express the corresponding recombinant protein. Explanation The "U" selenocysteine is encoded by UGA and is normally used as a stop codon in prokaryotic cells, which will lead to early termination of translation, so we will mutate this selenocysteine; In terms of the formation of selenocysteine , selenocysteine is actually a derivative of serine. Selenocysteine and cysteine as well as serine are highly similar. This selenocysteine can be regarded as either the "S" of cysteine replaced by Se, or the "O" of serine replaced by Se, and it can mutated to be serine or cysteine. Generally, we mutate it to serine considering from protein expression (because if mutating to cysteine, additional disulfide bonds may form, thus affecting the expression and structure of the protein))

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the iodothyronine deiodinase family. It catalyzes the conversion of prohormone thyroxine (3,5,3',5'-tetraiodothyronine, T4) to the bioactive thyroid hormone (3,5,3'-triiodothyronine, T3) by outer ring 5'-deiodination. This gene is widely expressed, including in thyroid, placenta, pituitary and brain. It is thought to be responsible for the 'local' production of T3, and thus important in influencing thyroid hormone action in these tissues. It has also been reported to be highly expressed in thyroids of patients with Graves disease, and in follicular adenomas. The intrathyroidal T4 to T3 conversion by this enzyme may contribute significantly to the relative increase in thyroidal T3 production in these patients. This protein is a selenoprotein containing the rare selenocysteine (Sec) amino acid at its active site, and may contain additional Sec residues. Sec is encoded by the UGA codon, which normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs contain a conserved stem-loop structure, designated the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element, that is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon, rather than as a stop signal. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]
Uniprot Description
Responsible for the deiodination of T4 (3,5,3',5'-tetraiodothyronine) into T3 (3,5,3'-triiodothyronine). Essential for providing the brain with appropriate levels of T3 during the critical period of development.
