Table 5. SOD1, SOD2, SOD3 gene expression in human and mouse RPE.
Mouse | Human | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
isoenzyme | Reporter | Percentile | Reporter | Percentile |
SOD1 | NM_011434 | High | NM_000454 | High |
SOD2 | NM_013671 | High | NM_000636, BM994509, AL050388 | Low |
SOD3 | NM_011435 | Intermediate | NM_003102 | Intermediate |
Sod1 and Sod3 are highly and moderately expressed respectively, in both species. Sod2 gene expression has a low expression in human RPE. In contrast it has a high expression in mouse RPE.
