Selenomethionine metabolism and its toxicity in yeast
The importance of selenium for organisms can be explained by its existence as selenocysteine in the catalytic centers of glutathione peroxidase and thioredoxin reductase. Another selenoamino acid, selenomethionine, is the major form of selenium in foods,

Selenomethionine as a dual-mechanism ferroptosis inhibitor: selenium-supply-driven GPX4 biosynthesis beyond transsulfuration and reductive-capacity-mediated ROS scavenging independent of GPX4 activity [PDF]
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of nonapoptotic cell death driven by lipid peroxidation. The selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) serves as the central regulator of ferroptosis through enzymatic reduction of phospholipid ...

Vitamin E Intake Modulates the Effect of Selenomethionine on Sexual Function and Depressive Symptoms in Reproductive-Age Women with Euthyroid Autoimmune Thyroiditis: A Pilot Study [PDF]
Oxidative stress appears to be implicated in both the initiation and progression of autoimmune thyroiditis. Selenomethionine, which exhibits antioxidant properties, has been shown to reduce thyroid antibody titers in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis.

Selenomethionine as an expressible handle for bioconjugations [PDF]
Significance The manipulation of proteins in a site-selective manner underpins much of modern protein chemistry. A careful evaluation of selenomethionine benzylation led to the identification of a highly efficient bromobenzyl linker for protein bioconjugation.

An in-depth understanding of Se uptake and metabolism in plants is necessary for developing Se biofortification strategies. Thus, hydroponic experiments were conducted to investigate the associated processes and mechanisms of organic Se (selenomethionine (SeMet) and selenomethionine-oxide (SeOMet)) uptake, translocation, transformation and their ...
