Abstract

Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for mammals and its biological functions are mediated by selenoprotein. In tissues, Se is incorporated into the selenoprotein by recognition of the UGA codon as a stop codon for selenoprotein. Phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (PHGPx) is an antioxidant selenoprotein that belongs to the superfamily of selenium-dependent peroxidase.(omitted)
