Description

Catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Superoxide Dismutase, MP Biomedicals is an antioxidant enzyme and an important defense in cells exposed to oxygen. It is a low molecular weight metalloprotein present in aerobic ce

Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) provides protection against damaging reactions with the superoxide radical anion (O2-) by catalyzing its disproportionation into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. It competes with nitric oxide (NO) for superoxide anion (which reacts with NO to form peroxynitrite), thereby promoting the activity of NO. SOD has also been shown to suppress apoptosis in cultured rat ovarian follicles, neural cell lines, and transgenic mice.

Superoxide Dismutase plays a critical role in the defense of cells against the toxic effects of oxygen radicals. SOD from bovine erythrocytes has been used in a study to assess a kinetic model of radiation-induced inactivation of superoxide dismutase in nitrous oxide-saturated solutions. Superoxide dismutase from bovine erythrocytes has also been used in a study to investigate the possible participation of superoxide anion in the intestinal tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase reaction.
