Storage Buffer: Phosphate buffered saline, 50% glycerol, 0.09% sodium azide

Storage Conditions: For long term storage, keep frozen at -40°C or lower. Stock solution can be kept at +4°C for more than 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Use: Western blotting

Antibody Dilution Recommended: WB (1:1000); optimal dilutions for assays should be determined by the user.

Antibody Potency: Recognizes a conformation specific epitope where the dimer interface is exposed.

Antibody Species Reactivity: This antibody detects the target protein in the following species due to conservation of amino acid sequence: Human | Rat | Mouse.

Antibody Positive Control: 1µg/ml of SPC-206 was sufficient for detection of the exposed dimer interface of SOD1 by colorimetric dot blot analysis using Goat anti-rabbit IgG:HRP as the secondary antibody.

Scientific Background: SOD1 (cytoplasmic copper-zinc superoxide dismutase) serves as an important antioxidant that catalyzes the conversion of the toxic reactive oxygen species superoxide radical O2ˉ anion into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which are then metabolized to H2O and O2 by catalase and glutathione peroxidase (1,4). It is an intracellular metalloenzyme that is found in almost every cell in the body (2). In general, SODs play a major role in antioxidant defense mechanisms (3). There are two main types of SOD in mammalian cells. One form (SOD1) contains Cu and Zn ions as a homodimer and exists in the cytoplasm. The two subunits of 16 kDa each are linked by two cysteines forming an intra-subunit disulphide bridge (2). Misfolding of SOD1 has been implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Over 180 different mutations in SOD1 have been linked to ALS. Conformation specific antibodies such as SOD1 (EDI), which targets an exposed region of the dimer interface (EDI) of SOD1, are useful for determining the conformation of SOD1 in affected tissues (5). This antibody can be used in conjunction with SOD1 (UβB) (SPC-205D) which detects an unfolded beta barrel (UβB) of SOD1. This description may include information annotated by UniProt and/or Google AI.
