molecular function |
| GO:0016209 | | antioxidant activity | | Inhibition of the reactions brought about by dioxygen (O2) or peroxides. Usually the antioxidant is effective because it can itself be more easily oxidized than the substance protected. The term is often applied to components that can trap free radicals, thereby breaking the chain reaction that normally leads to extensive biological damage. |
| GO:0046870 | | cadmium ion binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with cadmium (Cd) ions. |
| GO:0005507 | | copper ion binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with copper (Cu) ions. |
| GO:0046872 | | metal ion binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any metal ion. |
| GO:0004784 | | superoxide dismutase activity | | Catalysis of the reaction: 2 superoxide + 2 H+ = O2 + hydrogen peroxide. |
biological process |
| GO:0071585 | | detoxification of cadmium ion | | Any process that reduces or removes the toxicity of cadmium ion. These may include transport of cadmium away from sensitive areas and to compartments or complexes whose purpose is sequestration of cadmium ion. |
| GO:0010273 | | detoxification of copper ion | | Any process that reduces or removes the toxicity of copper ion. These include transport of copper away from sensitive areas and to compartments or complexes whose purpose is sequestration of copper ion. |
| GO:0019430 | | removal of superoxide radicals | | Any process, acting at the cellular level, involved in removing superoxide radicals (O2-) from a cell or organism, e.g. by conversion to dioxygen (O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). |
| GO:0046688 | | response to copper ion | | Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a copper ion stimulus. |
cellular component |
| GO:0005829 | | cytosol | | The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes. |
