gene: sod-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables protein homodimerization activity and superoxide dismutase activity. Involved in removal of superoxide radicals. Located in mitochondrial respirasome. Expressed in head and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; artery disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); and hematologic cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human SOD2 (superoxide dismutase 2).
