The expression of essential selenoproteins during development requires SECIS-binding protein 2–like
This work reveals that the Sbp2 paralogue, Secisbp2-like, is required for selective selenoprotein synthesis when the function of Sbp2 is compromised. The dietary requirement for selenium is based on its incorporation into selenoproteins, which contain ...

Selenium (Se) is a naturally occurring essential micronutrient that is required for human health. The existing form of Se includes inorganic and organic. In contrast to the inorganic Se, which has low bioavailability and high cytotoxicity, organic Se exhibits higher bioavailability, lower toxicity, and has a more diverse composition and structure. This

Trends in selenium utilization in marine microbial world revealed through the analysis of the global ocean sampling (GOS) project. [PDF]
Selenium is an important trace element that occurs in proteins in the form of selenocysteine (Sec) and in tRNAs in the form of selenouridine. Recent large-scale metagenomics projects provide an opportunity for understanding global trends in trace element

Biomarkers of selenium status in dogs [PDF]
Background: Inadequate dietary selenium (Se) intake in humans and animals can lead to long term health problems, such as cancer. In view of the owner's desire for healthy longevity of companion animals, the impact of dietary Se provision on long term ...

Selenoproteins and Metastasis [PDF]
Cancer survival is largely impacted by the dissemination of cancer cells from the original tumor site to secondary tissues or organs through metastasis. Targets for antimetastatic therapies have recently become a focus of research, but progress will require a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving metastasis.
