Selenium-gene interactions involving microRNAs
Selenium (Se) is an essential nutrient for health. In mammals Se is incorporated into ~25 selenoproteins in the form of the amino-acid selenocysteine encoded by the UGA codon through a complex interacting with selenocysteine insertion sequence (SECIS) in the 3’Unstralated Region.
