HEPCGN_22955 (serS)
L-seryl-tRNA(Sec) selenium transferase:

Candidate genes for each reaction are identified from best hits to MetaCyc; by matching EC numbers (which are assigned by TIGRFam, SEED, or best hits to KEGG); or by matching SEED roles to KEGG reactions to MetaCyc reactions. See the "Protein" tab of each gene for more information
