Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase

Cu/Zn Superoxide dismutase is an oxidoreductase enzyme, catalyzing the dismutation of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide.

Introduction

Cu/Zn Superoxide dismutase is an important antioxidant defense in nearly all cells exposed to oxygen.

Cu2+ Zn Superoxide Dismutase belongs to the superfamily of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on superoxide as acceptor.
