Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cytokine production; positive regulation of defense response to virus by host; and regulation of calcium-mediated signaling. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including macrophage derived foam cell differentiation; positive regulation of leukocyte migration; and respiratory burst after phagocytosis. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Orthologous to human SELENOK (selenoprotein K).
