title: A manganese superoxide dismutase-encoding cDNA from Drosophila melanogaster.
abstract: A cDNA encoding manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) has been cloned and sequenced from Drosophila melanogaster. This 805-bp complete cDNA carries a single open reading frame which specifies a deduced 217-amino-acid (aa) protein with an average identity of 60.8% with deduced MnSOD aa sequences from Caenorabditis elegans and humans.
