SOD Human Recombinant produced in E. Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 189 amino acids with a 10 × His at N-terminus and having a molecular mass of 40.0kDa. The SOD Human is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Human Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase (SOD1) catalyzes the reaction between superoxide anions and hydrogen to yield molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The enzyme protects the cell against dangerous levels of superoxide. SOD1 binds copper and zinc ions and is 1 of 3 isozymes accountable for destroying free superoxide radicals in the body. The encoded protein neutralizes supercharged oxygen molecules, which can damage cells if their levels are not controlled. Mutations in SOD1 cause a form of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
