Abstract
Selenoprotein P is a newly characterized selenoprotein. It is the first protein described to contain multiple selenocysteines. It is secreted by the liver into the plasma and turns over rapidly. Its concentration is sensitive to the selenium status of the animal. Its function is unknown.Keywords
