- SOD1
Superoxide dismutase 1, soluble (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 1 (adult)), also known as SOD1, is a human protein and
gene . This gene encodes one of three forms of the human superoxide dismutase.PBB_Summary
section_title =
summary_text = SOD1 binds copper and zinc ions and is one of two isozymes responsible for destroying freesuperoxide radicals in the body. The encoded isozyme is a soluble cytoplasmic protein, acting as a homodimer to convert naturally occurring, but harmful, superoxide radicals to molecular oxygen andhydrogen peroxide . The other isozyme is a mitochondrial protein. Mutations in this gene have been implicated as causes of familialamyotrophic lateral sclerosis .
