Catalogue number
PRO-1239
Synonyms
Superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn], EC 1.15.1.1, SOD1, SOD, ALS, ALS1, IPOA.
Introduction
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
SOD Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 189 amino acids with a 10 × His at N-terminus and having a molecular mass of 40.0kDa.
The SOD Human is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2um filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized SOD in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized SOD Human although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution SOD Human should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
