Sodium selenite is used in reducing carcinogenesis with potency greater than selenomethionine (sc-204050). It also exhibits antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and yeast. It is characterized by its role in supporting selenium-dependent biological processes, such as the function of selenoproteins, which are vital for antioxidant defense mechanisms. In the field of environmental science, sodium selenite can be used in studies related to selenium toxicity in ecosystems. Understanding how selenium compounds like sodium selenite interact with the environment allows for better management of soil and water quality.
