Selenium and GPX4, a vital symbiosis
Open accessAbstract
Selenium has transitioned from an environmental poison and carcinogen to an essential micronutrient associated with a broad array of health promoting effects. These beneficial effects are now accepted to be linked to its incorporation into selenoproteins, a family of rare proteins utilizing a specialized translation machinery to integrate selenium in the form of selenocysteine. Despite this recognized role, much less is known regarding the actual role of selenium in these proteins. Here, we will provide the reader with an overview of the essential role of specific selenoproteins and their link to pathology based on mouse studies and relevant mutations discovered in humans. Additionally, we will cover recent insights linking a non-interchangeable role for selenium in glutathione peroxidase 4 and its function in suppressing ferroptosis. This critical dependency ultimately generates a strong reliance on metabolic pathways that regulate selenium metabolism and its incorporation into proteins, such as the mevalonate pathway.

“Curiously, Gpx4 deletion in mice leads to early embryonic lethality [38,39]; therefore, it is striking that the mutant patients still proceeded through embryogenesis with a truncated and inactive form of GPX4.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
