sod-3 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables protein homodimerization activity and superoxide dismutase activity. Involved in removal of superoxide radicals. Located in mitochondrial respirasome. Expressed in several structures, including head; intestine; pharynx; tail; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; artery disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); and hematologic cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human SOD2 (superoxide dismutase 2).
