Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the SOD1 gene (formerly known as Cu,Zn-SOD) are frequently associated with the familial form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The G93A mutation of SOD1 with substitution of Gly to Ala at residue 93 results in gain of a peroxidative function. Here we report that transfection of PC12 neuron precursor cells with the G93A mutation of SOD1 results in increased production of hydroxyl radicals (*OH)...
