General annotation (Comments)

Function

Destroys radicals which are normally produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems. Required for normal brood size. Ref.5

Catalytic activity

2 superoxide + 2 H+ = O2 + H2O2.

Cofactor

Binds 1 copper ion per subunit By similarity.

Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit By similarity.

Enzyme regulation

The insertion of copper which activates the protein requires glutathione. This is independent of copper chaperone for SOD1 (CCS), which activates orthologs. Ref.4

Subunit structure

Homodimer. Ref.4

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm By similarity.

Disruption phenotype

Worms exhibit increased oxidative stress and reduced brood size. Ref.5

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase family.

Alternative products

This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform a (identifier: P34697-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Note: No experimental confirmation available.
Isoform b (identifier: P34697-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-22: Missing.
