FAMILY

iron/manganese superoxide dismutase family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as SODF2_ARATH, FSD2, APG8. Destroys superoxide anion radicals which are normally produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems (By similarity). Plays important role in chloroplast development, particularly in the maintenance of thylakoids membranes. Seems to act as a heterodimer with FSD3. Heterodimer with FSD3 (PubMed:18996978). Interacts with MRL7 and PRDA1 (PubMed:24132784).
