Rabbit Anti-SOD (Superoxide dismutase 1)
Superoxide dismutases (SOD) are a class of enzymes that catalyze the dismutation of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. As such, they are an important antioxidant defense in nearly all cells exposed to oxygen. One of the exceedingly rare exceptions is Lactobacillus plantarum and related lactobacilli, which use a different mechanism.Cu,Zn-SOD was found widely distributed in the cell cytosol and in the cell nucleus, consistent with it being a soluble cytosolic protein. Mitochondria and secretory compartments did not label for this protein. In human cells, peroxisomes showed a labeling density slightly less than that of cytoplasm.
Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin and Frozen), and Immunocytochemistry.
Recommended Dilution
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Handling

Purity
Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
Specificity
Recognizes human, mouse and rat SOD. No crossreactivity with other proteins.
