General Information
| General Information | Comment | Organism |
|---|---|---|
| evolution | selenoproteins (containing the 21st proteinogenic amino acid selenocysteine) play important roles throughout all domains of life. A number of taxa have small selenoproteomes, and Hymenopteran insects appear to have fully lost selenoproteins. Nevertheless, their genomes contain genes for several proteins of the selenocysteine insertion machinery, including selenophosphate synthetase 1 (SELD/SPS1) | Cardiocondyla obscurior |
| physiological function | SELD/SPS 1 might play an important role in oxidative stress defense, and might therefore be involved in the life-prolonging effect of mating, and in the stronger life-prolonging effect of winged males | Cardiocondyla obscurior |
