Background

Superoxide Dismutases (SODs), originally identified as Indophenoloxidases (IPOs), are enzymes that catalyze the conversion of naturally occurring but harmful superoxide radicals into molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Superoxide Dismutases 2 (SOD2, also known as Manganese (Mn) SOD, mitochondrial SOD and IPO-B) is an intramitochondrial 23 kDa protein that associates as a homotetramer. Each SOD2 monomer binds one Mn²⁺ ion. Oxidative stress has been implicated in many diseases and the chief source of reactive oxygen species within the cell is the mitochondrion. SOD2 is a free radical scavenging enzyme that protects against damage from superoxide produced as a byproduct of oxidative phosphorylation and protects the integrity of mitochondrial enzymes susceptible to inactivation by superoxide. Over aa 25‑222, human SOD2 shows 94% and 93% identity to mouse and rat SOD2.
