Selenoprotein Gene Nomenclature [PDF]
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. Selenoprotein enzymes with known functions are designated according to these functions: TXNRD1, TXNRD2, and TXNRD3 (thioredoxin reductases), GPX1, GPX2, GPX3, GPX4, and

The function of intrinsically disordered selenoproteins
Rozovsky, SharonSELENOS and SELENOK are intrinsically disordered selenoproteins that take part in the endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway, which degrades misfolded proteins and maintains cellular protein hemostasis.

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.

The Neurobiology of Selenium: Looking Back and to the Future
Eighteen years ago, unexpected epileptic seizures in Selenop-knockout mice pointed to a potentially novel, possibly underestimated, and previously difficult to study role of selenium (Se) in the mammalian brain.

Metabolic‐Redox Remodeling of Inflammatory Synovium by Mannose‐Modified Selenium Nanoparticles for Osteoarthritis Therapy [PDF]
Elevated GLUT1‐driven glycolysis and disrupted selenoprotein‐dependent redox homeostasis drive osteoarthritic progression. Intra‐articular mannose‐modified selenium nanoparticles (M‐SeNPs) selectively target hypermetabolic synovial cells to reprogram aberrant glycolysis and restore endogenous antioxidant defenses.

Role of Selenoproteins in Redox Regulation of Signaling and the Antioxidant System: A Review
Selenium is a vital trace element present as selenocysteine (Sec) in proteins that are, thus, known as selenoproteins. Humans have 25 selenoproteins, most of which are functionally characterized as oxidoreductases, where the Sec residue plays a catalytic

Gene expression evaluation of antioxidant enzymes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: RT-qPCR and bioinformatic analyses [PDF]
Any condition leading to chronic liver disease is a potential oncogenic agent for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Alterations in the expression of antioxidant enzymes could alter the redox balance. Our aim was to evaluate the expression of the genes GPX1,

Selenium in biology: Facts and medical perspectives [PDF]
Several decades after the discovery of setenium as an essential trace element in vertebrates approximately 20 eukaryotic and more than 15 prokaryotic selenoproteins containing the 21(st) proteinogenic amino acid, selenocysteine, have been identified ...
