where is superoxide dismutase sod1 found in the body?
cytoplasm
three forms of superoxide dismutase are present in humans, in all other mammals, and most chordates. sod1 is located in the cytoplasm, sod2 in the mitochondria, and sod3 is extracellular. the first is a dimer (consists of two units), whereas the others are tetramers (four subunits). sod1 and sod3 contain copper and zinc, whereas sod2, the mitochondrial enzyme, has manganese in its reactive centre. the genes are located on chromosomes 21, 6, and 4, respectively (21q22.1, 6q25.3 and 4p15.3-p15.1).

superoxide dismutase [cu-zn] also known as superoxide dismutase 1 or sod1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the "sod1" gene, located on chromosome 21. sod1 is one of three human superoxide dismutases. it is implicated in apoptosis and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
