Abstract
Human thyrocytes were found to synthesize and secrete the selenoenzyme extracellular glutathione peroxidase (E-GPX), a process which was controlled by the Ca2+/phosphoinositol second-messenger cascade. The potential involvement of thyroidal E-GPX in the regulation of thyroid-hormone synthesis and in the protection of the thyrocyte from peroxidative damage is discussed.Entities:
