Abstract excerpt
Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) is a secretory SOD isoenzyme. 99% of EC-SOD is anchored to heparan sulfate proteoglycans in the tissue interstitium, and 1% is located in the vasculature in equilibrium between the plasma and the endothelium. Analysis of EC-SOD in plasma samples from 504 random blood donors revealed a common (2.2%) phenotypic variant displaying 10-fold increased plasma EC-SOD content....
