Description

General description

Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD 1), also called Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase, is a cytosolic protein. It is expressed as five isoforms by alternate splicing. SOD1 is mapped to human chromosome 21q22.11. It exists as a homodimer with intrasubunit disulfide bonds.

Immunogen

Superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn] recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-SOD1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:

• immunoprecipitation of ventral horn of spinal cords samples
• immunocytochemistry of motor neuron and astrocyte cells
• immunohistochemical studies of liver specimens

Anti-SOD1 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

SOD1 (superoxide dismutase 1) gene encodes an enzyme that destroys harmful free superoxide radicals in the body to molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. It binds copper and zinc ions. This isozyme is a cytoplasmic homodimer. Defects in this gene have been associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis that affects upper motor neurons in the brain and lower motor neurons in the brain stem and spinal cord, resulting in fatal paralysis.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Linkage

Corresponding Antigen APREST83054.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
