SELENOM and Alzheimer disease: When β-amyloid (Aβ42, an AD relevant peptide) was cotransfected with the empty expression vector, SelM, or SelM’ under the induction of 0.5 μmol/L Na2SeO3, the intracellular Aβ42 aggregation rates were detected to be 57.9% ± 5.5%, or 22.3% ± 2.6%, or 26.3% ± 2.1%, respectively, showing the inhibitory effects on Aβ aggregation by the full-length SelM and SelM’.
