Recombinant Human Copper, Zinc-Superoxide Dismutase

Superoxide dismutase SOD is a category of metalloenzyme, extensively existing in all living organisms.Based on its metallicity, SOD is categorized into copper, zinc-SOD, manganese-SOD and iron-SOD. SOD has a physiological significance that can convert toxic superoxide free radicals into hydrogen peroxide. Its the primary substance to scavenge oxygen free radicals in living organisms. It has been demonstrated that there are up to 60 diseases directly related to oxygen free radicals and SOD level has been known as an illustrated indicator for aging and death. SOD can prohibit superoxide free radicals-induced damage at cellular level and locally repair damaged cells. It plays more and more important role in anti-oxidation in living organisms.
