SOD1 binds copper and zinc ions and is one of two isozymes responsible for destroying free superoxide radicals in the body. This isozyme is a soluble cytoplasmic protein, acting as a homodimer to convert naturally-occuring but harmful superoxide radicals to molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The other isozyme is a mitochondrial protein.
Titration of the SOD1 antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
A portion of amino acids 55-84 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this SOD1 antibody.
Aliquot the SOD1 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder.Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
