| Reaction: |
2 superoxide + 2 H+ = O2 + H2O2 |
| Glossary: |
superoxide = O2.- |
| Other name(s): |
superoxidase dismutase; copper-zinc superoxide dismutase; Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase; ferrisuperoxide dismutase; superoxide dismutase I; superoxide dismutase II; SOD; Cu,Zn-SOD; Mn-SOD; Fe-SOD; SODF; SODS; SOD-1; SOD-2; SOD-3; SOD-4; hemocuprein; erythrocuprein; cytocuprein; cuprein; hepatocuprein |
| Systematic name: |
superoxide:superoxide oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
A metalloprotein; also known as erythrocuprein, hemocuprein or cytocuprein. Enzymes from most eukaryotes contain both copper and zinc; those from mitochondria and most prokaryotes contain manganese or iron. |
