Abstract excerpt
Selenocysteine insertion sequence-binding protein 2, SBP2 (SECISBP2), is required for selenoprotein synthesis. Partial SBP2 deficiency syndrome manifests characteristic thyroid function tests. The Sbp2 deficiency mouse model, Sbp2 inducible conditional knockout (iCKO), replicates this thyroid phenotype and was used for pathophysiologic investigations. As selenoproteins have an antioxidative role in thyroid gland...
