Description | Copper/Zinc superoxide dismutase (SODC) [ , , ] is one of the three forms of an enzyme that catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide radicals. SODC binds one atom each of zinc and copper. Various forms of SODC are known: a cytoplasmic form in eukaryotes, an additional chloroplast form in plants, an extracellular form in some eukaryotes, and a periplasmic form in prokaryotes. The metal binding sites are conserved in all the known SODC sequences []. This entry contains 2 patterns, the first contains the two histidine residues that bind the copper atom; the second one is located in the C-terminal section of SODC and contains a cysteine which is involved in a disulphide bond. |
