Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an endogenously producedintracellular enzyme present in almost every cell in the body (3).
It works by catalyzing the dismutation of the superoxide radical O2¯ to O2 and H2O2, which are then metabolized to H2O and O2 by catalase and glutathione peroxidase (2,5).
In general, SODs play a major role in antioxidant defense mechanisms (4).
There are two main types of SOD in mammalian cells.
One form (SOD1) contains Cu and Zn ions as a homodimer and exists in the cytoplasm.
The two subunits of 16kD each are linked by two cysteines forming an intra-subunit disulphide bridge (3).
The second form (SOD2) is a manganese containing enzyme and resides in the mitochondrial matrix.
It is a homotetramer of 80kD.
The third form (SOD3 or EC-SOD) is like SOD1 in that it contains Cu and Zn ions, however it is distinct in that it is a homotetramer, with a mass of 30kD and it exists only in the extracellular space (9).
SOD3 can also be distinguished by its heparin-binding capacity (1).
