SEL1L explained

Protein sel-1 homolog 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SEL1L gene.[1] [2] [3] [4]

Clinical relevance

A mutation in this gene in Finnish Hound dogs have been implicated in cases of cerebellar ataxia.[5] Mutant cells suffer disruptions in their endoplasmic reticula, leading to disease.
