Abstract

Selenoprotein P is an extracellular protein containing presumably 10 selenocysteines that are encoded by the UGA stop codon in the open reading frame of the mRNA. The function of selenoprotein P is currently unknown, although several indirect lines of evidence suggest that selenoprotein P is a free radical scavenger. We first developed a conventional procedure to isolate selenoprotein P from human plasma. Next, we investigated the reactivities of selenoprotein P against various hydroperoxides in the presence of glutathione. Although selenoprotein P reduces neither hydrogen peroxide nor tertiary butyl hydroperoxide, it does reduce phospholipid hydroperoxide such as 1-palmitoyl-2-(13-hydroperoxy-cis-9, trans-11-octadecadienoyl)-3-phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide. Kinetic analysis demonstrated a tert-uni ping-pong mechanism, similar to those described for classical glutathione peroxidase and phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase. Not only glutathione, but also dithiothreitol, mercaptoethanol, cysteine, and homocysteine, were effective as reducing substances, as in the case of phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase. These results show that selenoprotein P functions as a phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase in extracellular fluids.

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.
