Description
SpecificityThis antibody detects a 23kDa protein in human (and a19 kDa protein in other species) on SDS-PAGE immunoblots, corresponding to the molecular mass of Cu/Zn SOD. This antibody recognizes human, mouse, rat, canine, porcine, rabbit, ovine, Xenopus, and bovine Cu/Zn SOD.
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.
Antigen Details
FunctionDestroys radicals which are normally produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems. {PubMed:24140062}.
