SOD1

Superoxide dismutase 1, soluble (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 1 (adult)), also known as SOD1, is a human protein and gene. This gene encodes one of three forms of the human superoxide dismutase.

Mice lacking Sod1 have increased age-related muscle mass loss, early development of cataracts, macular degeneratioon, thymic involution, hepatocellular carcinoma, and shortned lifespan.
