The correct answer is D
- Xanthine oxidase is a free radical producing enzyme.
- Super oxide dismutase is a potent protective enzyme that can selectively scavenge the superoxide radical (O2.-) by catalyzing its dismutation to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and molecular oxygen (O2).
- The other antioxidative enzymes, Catalase and Glutathione Peroxidase, act to decompose H2O2 to water.
Other Free radical producing enzymes are:
- inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)
- NADPH oxidase
