Cell death by SecTRAPs: thioredoxin reductase as a prooxidant killer of cells.
<h4>Background</h4>SecTRAPs (selenium compromised thioredoxin reductase-derived apoptotic proteins) can be formed from the selenoprotein thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) by targeting of its selenocysteine (Sec) residue with electrophiles, or by its removal through C-terminal truncation. SecT...
