| Title:  Superoxide Dismutase CAS Registry Number:  9054-89-1 Additional Names:  SOD Literature References:  Family of naturally occurring metalloenzymes that act as free oxygen radical scavengers and protect against the deleterious effects of biologically generated superoxide oxygen radicals (O2.-) by dismutation to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) + molecular oxygen (O2).  Three metallotypes have been described; distinguished by the metal found at the active site:  cupro-zinc containing (Cu/Zn SOD), manganese containing (Mn SOD), and iron containing (Fe SOD).  Widely distributed, present in almost all aerobic organisms and some anaerobes.  Isoln and purification of Cu/Zn SOD from bovine erythrocytes and identity with erythrocuprein (hemocuprein):  J. M.
