Description

Selenoprotein W was first purified and characterized from rat skeletal muscle. The function of selenoprotein W is not entirely clear, but the presence of the bound glutathione moiety indicates that SelW is thought to function in oxidation-reduction catalysis and may play a role in selenium deficiency disorders such as white muscle disease in sheep and Keshan disease in humans. Recently, overexpression of SelW was shown to be glutathione dependent and was shown to markedly reduce the sensitivity of cell lines to H2O2 cytotoxicity.
