“Alphabet” Selenoproteins: Implications in Pathology

2023-09-21

Abstract excerpt

Selenoproteins are a group of proteins containing selenium in the form of selenocysteine (Sec, U) as the 21st amino acid coded in the genetic code. Their synthesis is dependent on dietary selenium uptake and a common set of cofactors. Selenoproteins accomplish diverse roles in the body and cell processes by acting, for example, as antioxidants, modulators of the immune function, detoxification agents for heavy met...
