Selenoethionine

Description:

Selenoethionine, with the CAS number 2578-27-0, is an organoselenium compound that is structurally related to the amino acid ethionine, where sulfur is replaced by selenium. This compound is characterized by its unique selenium-containing functional group, which imparts distinct biochemical properties. Selenoethionine is known for its potential antioxidant activity, as selenium is an essential trace element that plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including the functioning of selenoproteins. These proteins are involved in antioxidant defense, thyroid hormone metabolism, and immune response. The compound is typically found in trace amounts in certain foods and is of interest in nutritional and biomedical research due to its potential health benefits. However, like other selenium compounds, it can exhibit toxicity at high concentrations. Its solubility in water and organic solvents varies, influencing its bioavailability and interaction with biological systems. Overall, selenoethionine represents a fascinating area of study in the context of nutrition and health, particularly concerning selenium's role in human physiology.
