Description

L-Seleno-L-methionine is a selenium-containing amino acid that is found in the proteins of some plants and animals. It functions as an enzyme cofactor and aids in energy metabolism, protein synthesis, and other biochemical processes. Seleno-L-methionine has been shown to have a protective effect against oxidative damage by scavenging free radicals. It also increases mitochondrial membrane potential and prevents the release of proapoptotic factors from mitochondria into the cytosol. Seleno-L-methionine has been used for analytical purposes as well as to evaluate changes in cell signaling pathways due to chemiluminescence methods or chemical inhibitors. Seleno-L-methionine also has an antioxidant activity that reduces the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by reacting with hydroxyl radicals, hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide, singlet oxygen, and peroxynitrite.
