This process leads to the formation of ubiquinol, ultimately safeguarding cells from mitochondrial lipid peroxidation. Through this paper, we unveil an unprecedented facet of selenium and introduce SQOR as a novel regulator in the context of ferroptosis.

However, our study reveals a novel aspect wherein selenide, a metabolic intermediate in the selenocysteine synthesis pathway, donates electrons to ubiquinone in an SQOR enzyme-dependent manner.

In this paper, we elucidate the non-canonical anti-ferroptosis mechanism of selenium. Traditionally, selenium's cytoprotective role has been attributed to its involvement in selenocysteine tRNA synthesis, essential for the production of 25 selenoproteins, including GPX4.
