Loss of SELENOF Induces the Transformed Phenotype in Human Immortalized Prostate Epithelial Cells

SELENOF is a member of the class of selenoproteins in which the amino acid selenocysteine is co-translationally inserted into the elongating peptide in response to an in-frame UGA codon located in the 3′-untranslated (3′-UTR) region of the SELENOF mRNA. Polymorphisms in the 3′-UTR are associated wit...
