Abstract excerpt
Loss of extracellular superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3) contributes to inflammatory and fibrotic lung diseases. The human SOD3 R213G polymorphism decreases matrix binding, redistributing SOD3 from the lung to extracellular fluids, and protects against LPS-induced alveolar inflammation. We used R213G mice expressing a naturally occurring single-nucleotide polymorphism, rs1799895, within the heparin-binding domain of...
