Promotes balanced and healthy immune system function
As Frontiers in Endocrinology (2023) confirmed: "Most known selenoproteins, such as glutathione peroxidase, are expressed in the thyroid and are involved in thyroid hormone metabolism, redox state regulation, and maintenance of cellular homeostasis." In other words, selenium's documented benefits for Hashimoto's thyroiditis are mechanistically dependent on adequate glutathione availability
Metastasis mechanisms
To elucidate which proteins are susceptible to carbonylation in -cells in T1D settings, we recently mapped over 1000 individual carbonylated proteins in islets from pre-diabetic NOD mice side by side with MIN6 -cells treated with 4-HNE or cytokines ( Table 1 ), including, Sec61 translocon subunit alpha 1 (SEC61A1), ADP ribosylation factor 1 and 3 (ARF1, 3), RAB3 GTPase activating protein catalytic subunit 1 (RAB3GAP1), N ethylmaleimide sensitive factor (NSF), RAB18, member RAS oncogene family (RAB18), Syntaxin binding protein 1 (MUNC18-1), RAB7A, member RAS oncogene family (RAB7A), Syntaxin 5 (STX5), Adaptor related protein complex 2 subunit alpha 2 (AP2A2), Endoplasmic reticulum Golgi intermediate compartment 1 (ERGIC1), Dynamin 1 like (DNM1L), Transmembrane p24 trafficking protein 10 (TMED10), Post GPI attachment to proteins 1 (PGAP1) and JNK interacting protein 4 (JIP4) (182), we observed insulin (INS2) carbonylation upon exposure to 4-HNE (183)
