Summary

TRNAU1AP (tRNA selenocysteine 1 associated protein 1, HGNC:30813) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p35.3, encoding tRNA selenocysteine 1-associated protein 1 (Q9NX07). Involved in the early steps of selenocysteine biosynthesis and tRNA(Sec) charging to the later steps resulting in the cotranslational incorporation of selenocysteine into selenoproteins. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 23.6% of cell lines).

Enables RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in selenocysteine incorporation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus.
