Abstract excerpt
The extracellular isoform of superoxide dismutase (SOD3) is decreased in patients and animals with pulmonary hypertension (PH). The human R213G single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in SOD3 causes its release from tissue extracellular matrix (ECM) into extracellular fluids, without modulating enzyme activity, increasing cardiovascular disease risk in humans and exacerbating chronic hypoxic PH in mice. Given the...
