Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) also known as Superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn] to distinguish it from SOD2 which uses manganese as its cofactor, is the cytosolic form of the enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide and is our primary anti-oxidant combating enzyme. SOD1 performs its function with the help of co-factors and one protein in particular is vital to its proper functioning. Copper chaperone protein (CCS) is a metalloprotein that specifically delivers Cu to SOD1 and may activate SOD1 through direct insertion of the Cu cofactor. Interestingly, defects in SOD1 are the cause of a form of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Lou Gehrig′s disease) and much research is centered on understanding how over-active or under-active SOD1 contributes to the disease. EMD-Millipore′s Anti-SOD1 mouse monoclonal antibody has been tested in western blot on HeLa, NIH3T3, A549 and A431 cell lysates and fluorescent immunocytochemistry on PANC1, SKBR-3 and 3T3-L1 cells in culture. The antibody has also been tested in flow cytometry on A431 cells in culture.

Purified recombinant fragment of human SOD1 expressed in E. Coli.
