Title Production of selenoprotein P (Sepp1) by hepatocytes is central to selenium homeostasis
Date 2012-01-01
Description Background: Sepp1 transports selenium, but its complete role in selenium homeostasis is not known. Results: Deletion of Sepp1 in hepatocytes increases liver selenium at the expense of other tissues and decreases whole-bodyselenium by increasing excretion. Conclusion: Sepp1 production by hepatocytes retains selenium in the organism and distributes it from the liver to peripheral tissues. Significance: Sepp1 is central to selenium homeostasis.
