Selenoproteins

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Selenoproteins are proteins that specifically incorporate SELENOCYSTEINE into their amino acid chain. Most selenoproteins are enzymes with the selenocysteine residues being responsible for their catalytic functions.  general; prefer specifics   
Examples Methionine Sulfoxide Reductases; Selenoprotein P; Selenoprotein W 		Other names Selenoprotein P1; Selenoprotein
