Abstract The 15-kDa selenoprotein (Sep15) is a selenocysteine-containing oxidoreductase
in the endoplasmic reticulum that participates in disulfide-bond formation and protein folding …

The present study for the first time addressed whether the simultaneous presence of
selenium, zinc and iron may have effects on the selenium uptake in the mycelia of the winter …
