Description
Description
SpecificityThis antibody recognizes human, mouse, and rat SOD1.
BackgroundSuperoxide dismutase (SOD) is an endogenously produced intracellular enzyme that catalyzes
the dismutation of the superoxide radical O2- to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide which are then
metabolized to H2O and O2 by catalase and glutathione peroxidase. SODs play an important role
in antioxidant defense mechanisms. Three different SOD isoenzymes are found in mammalian
cells: SOD1, SOD2, and SOD3. SOD1 contains Cu and Zn ions and exists as a homodimer in
cell cytoplasm. The two subunits of ~16kDa each are linked by two cysteines that form an intrasubunit disulfide bridge. Misfolding of SOD1 has been implicated in Amyotrophic Lateral
Sclerosis (ALS).
FunctionDestroys radicals which are normally produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems. {PubMed:24140062}.
