Human thyrocytes were found to synthesize and secrete the selenoenzyme extracellular glutathione peroxidase (E-GPX), a process which was controlled by the Ca2+/phosphoinositol second-messenger cascade. The potential involvement of thyroidal E-GPX in the regulation of thyroid-hormone synthesis and in the protection of the thyrocyte from peroxidative damage is discussed.

人们发现人类甲状腺细胞能合成并分泌硒酶——细胞外谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶（E-GPX），这一过程受Ca2+/磷酸肌醇第二信使级联反应的控制。文中讨论了甲状腺E-GPX在甲状腺激素合成调节及保护甲状腺细胞免受过氧化损伤方面的潜在作用。
