Abstract excerpt
Manganese-superoxide dismutase (Sod2) removes mitochondrially derived superoxide (O(2)) at near-diffusion limiting rates and is the only antioxidant enzyme whose expression is regulated by numerous stimuli. Here it is shown that Sod2 also serves as a source of the intracellular signaling molecule...
