Table 1.
Total counts of superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes identified from genome sequences of 19 metazoan species. Main numbers indicate the total number of unique sequences identified, including isoforms, splice variants and fragmented gene sequences. Superscript numbers indicate the number of additional identical protein sequences (exact sequence variants)
