Description
Product name: Nature SelenoproteinIntroduction: A selenoprotein is any protein that includes a selenocysteine residue. Among functionally characterized selenoproteins are five glutathione peroxidases and three thioredoxin reductases, which both contain only one Se-Cys. Selenoprotein P is the most common selenoprotein found in the plasma. It is especially unique in that it contains 10 Se-Cys residues, which are split into two domains. A longer N-terminal domain that contains 1 Se-Cys, and a shorter C-terminal domain that contains 9 Se-Cys. The longer N-terminal domain is likely an enzymatic domain, and the shorter C-terminal domain is likely a means of safely transporting the very reactive Se atom throughout the body.
Functions:
Selenoprotein is of fundamental importance to human health. It is an essential component of several major metabolic pathways, including thyroid hormone metabolism, antioxidant defence systems, and immune function.
It has the effect of curing cancer and cardiovascular disease.
It is well recognised that dietary selenium is important for a healthy immune response. There is also evidence that Se has a protective effect against some forms of cancer; that it may enhance male fertility; decrease cardiovascular disease mortality, and regulate the inflammatory mediators in asthma. The potential influence of Se on these chronic diseases within the world population are important considerations when assessing Se requirement.
