Background/Introduction: Superoxide Dismutases (SODs), originally identified as Indophenoloxidase (IPO), are enzymes that catalyze the conversion of naturallyoccuring but harmful superoxide radicals into molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Superoxide Dismutases 1, SOD1, also known as Cu/Zn SOD, soluble SOD and IPOA, is a soluble, cytoplasmic 16 kDa homodimer. Each SOD1 monomer binds one Cu2+ and one Zn2+ ion. Three isozymes of SOD have been identified and are functionally related but have very modest sequence homology. SOD1 shares 23% and 27% sequence identity with SOD2 and SOD3, respectively. Mutations in SOD1 have been implicated as causes of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The ALScausing mutations of SOD1 are scattered throughout the protein and provide no clear functional or structural clues to the underlying disease mechanism. The oligomerization hypothesis suggests that mutant SOD1 proteins become misfolded and consequently oligomerize into high molecular weight aggregates that result in the death of motor neurons. The oxidative damage hypothesis suggests that loss of function mutation in SOD1 protein results in the accumulation of cellular superoxide radical, leading to free radicalmediated damage, the release of cytochrome c, and apoptosis.

Product Notes
The Human Cu/ZnSOD (Catalog #AAA9424833) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9424833 ELISA Kit recognizes Human Cu/ZnSOD. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Cu/ZnSOD, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
