Anti-SOD1 Recombinant Rabbit M

Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) is an essential antioxidant enzyme that plays a critical role in protecting cells from oxidative damage. It catalyzes the conversion of superoxide radicals (O₂⁻), which are highly reactive and can cause cellular damage, into hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and oxygen. This process is important for maintaining cellular health, especially in tissues with high metabolic activity. SOD1 is primarily found in the cytosol, but it can also be present in other cellular compartments. Mutations in the SOD1 gene have been linked to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disease, highlighting the enzyme's significance in neuroprotection. Additionally, SOD1's activity is crucial for regulating oxidative stress, a key factor in aging and the development of various neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer.
