Name: | Selenium |

Description | Selenium salts are toxic in large amounts, but trace amounts of the element are necessary for cellular function in most. From about three billion years ago, prokaryotic selenoprotein families drive selenocysteine evolution. Selenium is incorporated into several prokaryotic selenoprotein families in bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes as selenocysteine, where selenoprotein peroxiredoxins protect bacterial and eukaryotic cells against oxidative damage. Selenium is an intermediate of selenoamino acid metabolism. (Wikipedia) |
