Superoxide Dismutase 1 Human Recombinant

Human Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase (SOD1) catalyzes the reaction between superoxide anions and hydrogen to yield molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The enzyme protects the cell against dangerous levels of superoxide. SOD1 binds copper and zinc ions and is 1 of 3 isozymes accountable for destroying free superoxide radicals in the body. The encoded protein neutralizes supercharged oxygen molecules, which can damage cells if their levels are not controlled. Mutations in SOD1 cause a form of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Description Recombinant Human Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase produced in E.Coli is a single monomeric non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 154 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 15.9 kDa.
The SOD1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms Superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn], EC 1.15.1.1, SOD1, SOD, ALS, ALS1, IPOA.

Purity >96% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Formulation Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
SOD1 0.2um filtered solution contains 20mM Tris-HCl pH-7.5 and 10% glycerol.
Stability The lyophilized form of the protein is stable at room temperature for 3 weeks and at -20°C for at least 2 years from the date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C for no more than 7 days. The protein is stable at -20°C for six months. For long term storage, please store at -80°C and the addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Biological Activity Specific activity is > 90 units/mg, in which one unit will inhibit the rate of reduction of cytochrome c by 50% in a coupled system, using xanthine and Xanthine oxidase at pH 7.8 at 25C in a 1.5 ml reaction volume.
Usage LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
