Anti-Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) antibody, Mouse monoclonal

Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) is a family of metalloenzymes widely distributed in both plants and animals. Superoxide dismutases appear to protect cells against reactive free radicals by scavenging the superoxide radicals produced by ionization radiation or through other mechanisms. SOD enzyme catalyzes the conversion of single electron reduced species of molecular oxygen to hydrogen peroxide and oxygen. There are several classes of SOD that differ in their metal binding ability, distribution in different cell compartments, and sensitivity to various reagents. Among these, Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is widely distributed and comprises 90% of the total SOD. This ubiquitous enzyme, which requires Cu and Zn for its activity, has great physiological significance and therapeutic potential.

recombinant human copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn-SOD).

Monoclonal Anti-Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) recognizes natural (human erythrocyte SOD), recombinant SOD (human Cu-Zn-SOD and human placental SOD) and the enzymatically inactive form of these enzymes. Reactivity has been observed with SOD from human, rat and dog origin, no reactivity was observed with SOD from bovine, bacillus stearothermophilus or E. coli (Fe or Mn) origin. The antibody is recommended to use in various immunological techniques, including ELISA, Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence.

Supplied as a solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide as a preservative.
