SOD

Superoxide Dismutase

SOD (Superoxide dismutase), an antioxidant enzyme, are a group of metalloenzymes that defenses against reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated injury. SOD can catalyze the dismutation of superoxide radicals (O2˙-) into hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and oxygen (O2). The chemical moiety of SOD contains some metal ions such as Cu2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, and Fe2+ in the active site, which mediates the dismutation process. On the basis of these metallic cofactors, SOD can be classified into three distinct types, SOD1 (Cu/Zn-SOD), SOD2 (Mn-SOD), and SOD3 (Fe-SOD)[1][2].
