Summary
Predicted to enable copper ion binding activity and superoxide dismutase activity. Predicted to be involved in removal of superoxide radicals. Is expressed in amphid neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); glucose metabolism disease (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including SOD1 (superoxide dismutase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]
