Abstract: Abstract: Selenoprotein S (SELS) is a kind of selenoprotein located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the plasma membrane. It has been identified as a new negative regulator of inflammatory cytokine. It could protect cells from oxidative damage, participate in the regulation of inflammatory and immunity response. Previous studies have shown that polymorphisms of SELS are associated with the risk of cancers, coronary heart disease, stroke, and preeclampsia. In this review, the biological role of SELS is discussed, and the recent dvances of the SELS polymorphisms as well as their associations with the susceptibility to many diseases are summarized.
Key words: selenoprotein S; polymorphism; susceptibility; inflammation
