The literature reports different types of SOD proteins displaying neuroprotection, for instance in brain ischemia models, (Huang, Guo, Cao, Shi, & Xia, 2012; Jung, Kim, Narasimhan, Song, & Chan, 2009; Kondo et al., 1997; Polazzi et al., 2013) as well as in C. elegans models for neurodegenerative diseases (Liu, Banskota, Critchley, Hafting, & Prithiviraj, 2015; Luo, Zhang, Liu, & Zhao, 2011). The gene discussed is SOD1; the disease is neurodegenerative disease.
