≥2,000 units/mg protein

composition

Protein, ~70% biuret

storage temp.

2-8°C

Biochem/physiol Actions

Catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide radicals to hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen. Plays a critical role in the defense of cells against the toxic effects of oxygen radicals. Competes with nitric oxide (NO) for superoxide anion (which reacts with NO to form peroxynitrite), thereby promoting the activity of NO.1 SOD has also been shown to suppress apoptosis in cultured rat ovarian follicles, neural cell lines and transgenic mice.2,3

Physical form

Lyophilized powder containing potassium phosphate buffer salts

Analysis Note

For assay method, see McCord, J.M. and Fridovich, I., J. Biol. Chem., 244, 6049 (1969).

Other Notes

One unit will inhibit reduction of cytochrome c by 50% in a coupled system with xanthine oxidase at pH 7.8 at 25 °C in a 3.0 mL reaction volume. Xanthine oxidase concentration should produce an initial ΔA550 of 0.025 ± 0.005 per min.
