SOD1 (Superoxide dismutase 1, SODC) (Internal Region) antibody

Antigen: SOD1 (Superoxide dismutase 1, SODC)

Binding Site: Internal Region

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blotting (WB)

Catalog no.: ABIN350840

Additional Information

UniProt: P00441

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from the internal part of human SOD1 (Superoxide dismutase 1, SODC) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen. The antigen is homologous in rat and mouse.

Format: Lyophilized

Isotype: IgG

Description: Function: Destroys radicals which are normally produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems. Catalytic activity: 2 superoxide + 2 H(+) = O(2) + H(2)O(2). Subcellular location: Cytoplasm. Involvement in disease: Defects in SOD1 are the cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 1 (ALS1). ALS1 is a familial form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a neurodegenerative disorder affecting upper and lower motor neurons and resulting in fatal paralysis. Sensory abnormalities are absent. Death usually occurs within 2 to 5 years. The etiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is likely to be multifactorial, involving both genetic and environmental factors. The disease is inherited in 5-10% of cases leading to familial forms. The protein (both wild-type and ALS1 variants) has a tendency to form fibrillar aggregates in the absence of the intramolecular disulfide bond or of bound zinc ions. These aggregates may have cytotoxic effects. Zinc binding promotes dimerization and stabilizes the native form. Also known as: SOD1, Superoxide dismutase 1, SODC.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for SOD1.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. A concentration of 10-50 µg/ml is recommended. The optimal concentration should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.

Purity: IgG

Storage: Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
