    There are three forms of superoxide dismutase in humans and most other animals. SOD1 is found in the cytoplasm as a dimer, SOD2 is located in mitochondria as a tetramer, and SOD3 exists extracellularly also as a tetramer. SOD1 and SOD3 contain copper and zinc, while SOD2 has manganese in its reactive center.

    Superoxide dismutase

    In humans (as in all other mammals and most chordates), three forms of superoxide dismutase
    are present. SOD1 is located in the cytoplasm, SOD2 in the mitochondria, and SOD3 is
    extracellular. The first is a dimer (consists of two units), while the others are tetramers (four
    subunits). SOD1 and SOD3 contain copper and zinc, while SOD2 has manganese in its reactive
    center.
