Description

Sodium Selenite is a source of selenium in biological research, where selenium is an essential trace element that is normally provided by serum.

  • Selenium is present in selenoproteins such as glutathione peroxidase and thioredoxin reductase, which contain the selenium analog of cysteine, selenocysteine.
  • In particular, glutathione peroxidase has a role in detoxification in vivo as a scavenger of peroxides.
  • Sodium selenite is included in various medium supplements for use in cell culture.
  • Sodium selenite has been utilized in studies of cell proliferation and cancer research.
  • It has been used to alter gene expression in HepG2 cells as analyzed by cDNA microarrays.
  • Sodium selenite can inhibit zinc finger protein/DNA interactions.
  • Sodium selenite has been shown to alter mitochondrial membrane potentials and thus potentially contribute to apoptosis.
