The phrase "and encodes an essential component of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the function or role of a particular element within a larger system or process, particularly in technical or scientific contexts.
Example: "The gene in question is responsible for producing a protein that and encodes an essential component of the cellular machinery."
Alternatives: "and represents a crucial part of" or "and signifies a vital element of".
