Product Description: Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), widely distributed in aerobic organisms, catalyzes dismutation of the superoxide free radical, O2-, to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide and apparently protects against oxygen toxicity. In human erythrocytes, O2- arises from autoxidation of oxyhemoglobin and SOD activity is copper-dependent.
