Abstract excerpt
SCOPE: Selenium (Se) is incorporated into selenoproteins as selenocysteine, which requires structures in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of selenoprotein mRNAs. The functional consequences of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within the 3'-UTR of the selenoprotein GPX4 gene (GPX4c718t) w...
