Selenium transport mechanism via selenoprotein P. Selenoprotein P (SeP) synthesized in the liver is preferentially incorporated by the brain and testis via SeP-receptor ApoER2/LRP8. In the brain, several cells such as neurons and ependymal cells synthesize SeP, which contributes to maintain Se and selenoprotein levels in the brain.
