Description
SpecificityThis antibody detects a 25kDa protein on SDS-PAGE immunoblots corresponding to the molecular mass of Mn SOD. This antibody recognizes human, monkey, mouse, rat, bovine, canine, porcine, hamster, guinea pig, rabbit, sheep, chicken, Drosophila, and Xenopus Mn 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 superoxide anion radicals which are normally produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems. {PubMed:10334867}.
