A superoxide dismutase distinct from previously known superoxide dismutases, was isolated from human lung tissue. It is probably of the same nature as a previously demonstrated high MW superoxide dismutating factor in human extracellular fluids. The enzyme has a MW around 135,000 and is composed of 4 equal noncovalently bound subunits. Each molecule appears to have 4 Cu atoms. No Fe or Mn was found in the enzyme. Cyanide inhibits the enzyme efficiently. The enzyme brings about a first-order dismutation of the superoxide radical, the rate constant for the catalyzed reaction being about 1 .times. 109 M-1 s-1 per Cu atom. The enzyme has hydrophobic properties. Affinity for various lectins indicates the presence of carbohydrate. On chromatography on heparin-Sepharose it is divided into 3 fractions, 1 with no, 1 with weak, and 1 with strong affinity for heparin.
