As inferred from the cytosolic reaction and from the mitochondrial reaction in mouse, Copper chaperone of superoxide dismutase (CCS) transfers a copper(I) atom to a SOD1 monomer that already contains a Zn atom. After initial heterodimerization between SOD1 and CCS, the copper atom is transferred, intramolecular cysteine disulfide bonds are formed in SOD1, and SOD1 dimerizes.
