Enzyme Information
| 4.4.1.16 | Selenocysteine lyase. based on mapping to UniProt Q96I15 L-selenocysteine + reduced acceptor = selenide + L-alanine + acceptor. -!- Dithiothreitol or 2-mercaptoethanol can act as the reducing agent in the reaction. -!- The enzyme from animals does not act on cysteine, serine or chloroalanine, while the enzyme from bacteria shows activity with cysteine (cf. EC 2.8.1.7). |
