Description: Recognizes human Mn SOD. Cross-reacts with rat and rabbit Mn SOD.
The antibody can be used to stain both indirectly or directly acetone-fixed cryostat sections or cell smears.
BMS122 is suitable for Western blot application. Under reducing conditions/SDS electrophoresis using BMS122 a 25 kDa band will be recognized (monomer of MnSOD protein).
The native form of the protein with a molecular weight of 80 kDa will be recognized under non-reducing conditions.
Human MnSOD is a tetrameric enzyme with four identical subunits each harboring a Mn+3 atom. MnSOD catalyzes the dismutation of two molecules of superoxide anion into water and hydrogen peroxide.
Purity: >95%.
Excitation: 488 nm; Emission: 520 nm; Laser: Blue Laser
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an antioxidant enzyme involved in the defense system against reactive oxygen species (ROS). SOD catalyzes the dismutation reaction of superoxide radical anion (O2) to hydrogen peroxide, which is then catalyzed to innocuous O2 and H2O by glutathione peroxidase and catalase. Several classes of SOD have been identified. These include intracellular copper, zinc SOD (Cu, Zn-SOD/SOD-1), mitochondrial manganese SOD (Mn-SOD/SOD-2) and extracellular Cu, Zn-SOD (EC-SOD/SOD-3). SOD1 is found in all eukaryotic species as a homodimeric 32 kDa enzyme containing one each of Cu and Zn ion per subunit. The manganese containing 80 kDa tetrameric enzyme SOD2, is located in the mitochondrial matrix in close proximity to a primary endogenous source of superoxide, the mitochondrial respiratory chain. SOD3 is a heparin-binding multimer of disulfide-linked dimers, primarily expressed in human lungs, vessel walls and airways. SOD4 is a copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase (CCS), which specifically delivers Cu to copper/zinc superoxide dismutase. CCS may activate copper/zinc superoxide dismutase through direct insertion of the Cu cofactor.
