Product Description

Product Description

Superoxide dismutases (SOD) are a class of enzymes that are crucial in the body's defense against oxidative stress1. They are characterized by their ability to dismutate superoxide radicals into molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, thus protecting cells from oxidative damage2. SODs are metalloenzymes containing metal ions such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), or iron (Fe) at their active sites, which are essential for their catalytic activity3.

There are three main types of SODs found in humans:

1. Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD or SOD1) is localized in the cytoplasm and mitochondrial intermembrane space4.
2. Manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD or SOD2) is found in the mitochondrial matrix5.
3. Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD or SOD3) is secreted into the extracellular space6.

SODs play a vital role in various physiological processes and disease conditions. They are involved in the maintenance of redox balance, protection against inflammation, and the prevention of oxidative damage associated with a variety of diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiovascular disorders7. Additionally, SODs have been implicated in the aging process and age-related diseases
