摘要
Selenoprotein P is an extracellular heparin-binding protein that has been implicated in protecting the liver against oxidant injury. Its location in liver, kidney, and brain was determined by conventional immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy using a polyclonal antiserum. Selenoprotein P is associated with endothelial cells in the liver and is more abundant in central regions than in portal regions. It is also present in kidney glomeruli associated with capillary endothelial cells. Staining of selenoprotein P in the brain is also confined to vascular endothelial cells. The heparin-binding properties of selenoprotein P could be the basis for its binding to tissue. Its localization to the vicinity of endothelial cells is potentially relevant to its oxidant defense function.
