General description

Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) or CuZn-SOD (SOD1), a cytoplasmic and mitochondrial intermembrane space protein, is located on human chromosome 21q22. It belongs to superoxide dismutase multigene family.

The protein encoded by this gene binds copper and zinc ions and is one of two isozymes responsible for destroying free superoxide radicals in the body. The encoded isozyme is a soluble cytoplasmic protein, acting as a homodimer to convert naturally-occuring but harmful superoxide radicals to molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The other isozyme is a mitochondrial protein. Mutations in this gene have been implicated as causes of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Rare transcript variants have been reported for this gene. (provided by RefSeq)
