| Function | Synthesizes selenophosphate from selenide and ATP. Essential for progression of the cell cycle by controlling the synthesis of selenoproteins. Plays a role in apoptosis and consequently a role in imaginal disk patterning and growth. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10444382, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11258485, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9398525, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9491069}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed at low levels throughout the embryo. At later developmental stages, expressed in areas of high cell proliferation. From embryo stage 13, expression is high in central nervous system and midgut, especially in the gastric caeca. Expression also seen in larval imaginal disks and brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10444382, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9398525, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9491069}. |
