Selenoprotein gene nomenclature [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2016 The human genome contains 25 genes coding for selenocysteine-containing proteins (selenoproteins). These proteins are involved in a variety of functions, most notably redox homeostasis.

A randomized trial of selenium supplementation and risk of type-2 diabetes, as assessed by plasma adiponectin [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Evidence that selenium affects the risk of type-2 diabetes is conflicting, with observational studies and a few randomized trials showing both lower and higher risk linked to the level of selenium intake and status. We investigated the effect

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2009 Selenium is an essential micronutrient for man and animals. The role of selenium has been attributed largely to its presence in selenoproteins as the 21st amino acid, selenocysteine (Sec, U). Sec is encoded by TGA in DNA. A unique mechanism is used to decode the UGA codon in mRNA to co-translationally incorporate Sec into the growing polypeptide ...

Veterinarski glasnik, 2015 Selenium is an essential trace element with multi significant role in the body. In contrast to other trace elements that appear as cofactors of certain enzymes, its physiological role is directly related to functions of proteins in composition of which it is cotranslationally installed by atypical amino acid selenocysteine.

Molecules, 2023 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

Selenoproteins and Metastasis [PDF]
, 2017 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.
