Component

SELENOP first-UGA recoding

Independent entity for contextual scientific-audit claims; no universal nutritional effect implied.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

    ## secis2-first The second SECIS element mainly helps the first selenium insertion. SELENOP SECIS2 preferentially supports first-UGA decoding in the tested constructs. Organism: Zebrafish transcript in mammalian cells Cell type: Transfected cells Experimental model: SELENOP reporter SECIS/UGA mutations in mammalian cells Limitations: Functional preference, not exclusive wiring or a universal rate.
