Selenium
An element with the atomic symbol Se, atomic number 34, and atomic weight 78.97. It is an essential micronutrient for mammals and other animals but is toxic in large amounts. Selenium protects intracellular structures against oxidative damage. It is an essential component of GLUTATHIONE PEROXIDASE.
Selenium Oxides
Inorganic compounds formed through the oxidation of selenium.
Year introduced: 2014
Selenium-Binding Proteins
A group of proteins that covalently attach to selenium or SELENIUM-containing compounds.
Year introduced: 2006(1983)
Selenium Compounds
Inorganic compounds that contain selenium as an integral part of the molecule.
Year introduced: 1994
Selenium Radioisotopes
Unstable isotopes of selenium that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. Se atoms with atomic weights 70-73, 75, 79, 81, and 83-85 are radioactive selenium isotopes.
