Description:
Manganese Superoxide Dismutase (Mn SOD) is an antioxidant enzyme that catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide radicals to molecular oxygen in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. It plays a critical role in the detoxification of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) constituting a major cellular defense mechanism against agents that induce oxidative stress. The increased expression of MnSOD suppresses the tumorigenicity of human melanoma cells, breast and prostate cancer cells, and glioma cells, suggesting that MnSOD is a tumor suppressor gene in a wide variety of cancers.
