SODCFL® CU-ZN Superoxide Dismutase (LA-SOD) catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide radicals to molecular oxygen. The dismutation of superoxide has been implicated in cellular aging due to its reduced activity in aging cells. Superoxide plays a protective role in the pathogenesis of selective neuronal injury after brief ischemia and reduces the degree of necrotic and DNA fragmented neuronal death following global ischemia. Mutant forms of Cu/Zn SOD have been linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

The activity of > 8000 units/mg (One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will double the rate of autoxidation of 5,6,6a,11b-tetrahydro-3,9,10-trihydroxybenzo-[c]-fluorene per minute at 37 °C, pH 8.8) is > 8000 units/mg (One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will double the rate of autoxidation of 5,6,6a,11b tetrahydro-3,9,10-trihydroxybenzo-[c]-fluorene per minute at 37 °C, pH 8.8).

SODCFL®CU-ZN超氧化物歧化酶（LA-SOD）催化超氧自由基歧化成分子氧。超氧化物的歧化已经牵涉到细胞老化，因为它在衰老细胞中的活性降低。超氧化物在短暂缺血后的选择性神经元损伤的发病机理中起保护作用，并降低全面缺血后坏死和DNA片段化神经元死亡的程度。 Cu / Zn SOD的突变形式与神经退行性疾病如肌萎缩侧索硬化有关。 > 8000单位/ mg的活性（一个单位定义为使5,6,6a，11b-四氢-3,9,10-三羟基苯并[c] - 芴自氧化速率加倍的酶量分钟，在37℃，pH8.8）> 8000单位/ mg（一个单位定义为amount的酶，其将在37℃，pH8.8下每分钟使5,6,6a，11b四氢-3,9,10-三羟基苯并 - [c] - 芴的自氧化速率加倍。
