Abstract excerpt
The superoxide dismutases (SODs) are a family of enzymes that function as the first line of antioxidant defense against highly reactive superoxide radicals. The bay scallop Argopecten irradians contains three unique superoxide dismutases: Ai-icCuZnSOD, Ai-MnSOD and Ai-ecCuZnSOD, which were charac...
