Superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn], EC 1.15.1.1, SOD1, SOD, ALS, ALS1, IPOA.
Introduction
Human Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) catalyzes the reaction between superoxide anions and hydrogen to yield molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. SOD protects the cell against dangerous levels of superoxide. SOD 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.
Description
Recombinant Human Superoxide Dismutase, 15N produced in E.Coli is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 153 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 15.8kDa.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in PBS, 0.1mM CuCl2 and 0.2mM ZnCl2.
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 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution SOD should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
