General Notes
Mouse anti Bovine superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn) antibody, clone 2F5 recognizes bovine superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn), also known by it's gene name SOD1. Bovine superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn) is a 152 amino acid ~15kDa cytoplasmic protein involved in the removal of free radicals from the cytosol. Superoxide dismutases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the dismutation of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. As such, they are an important antioxidant defense in nearly all cells exposed to oxygen. There are three major families of superoxide dismutase, depending on the metal cofactor: Cu-Zn (which binds both copper and zinc), Fe and Mn types (which bind either iron or manganese), and finally the Ni type, which binds nickel.Mouse anti Bovine superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn) antibody, clone 2F5 does not cross react with immunoglobulins but does react weakly with Mn SOD.
