Gene

SELENBP1

SELENBP1 encodes selenium-binding protein 1, a protein with methanethiol-oxidase activity that requires copper. rs2769264 lies in the SELENBP1 region and is linked to blood-copper measurements in European-origin studies, but the variant also affects nearby genes and has not been shown to change blood copper through SELENBP1.
