Overview
Superoxide Dismutase 1 (SOD1) is an antioxidant enzyme that scavenges superoxide radicals generated within cells, protecting cells from reactive oxygen species. Using copper and zinc as cofactors, it converts superoxide into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen, playing an important role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. This recombinant SOD1 is produced through an E. coli expression system, offering high purity and stable activity for application in a wide range of research and formulation contexts.
Applications
- Antioxidant enzyme activity research
- ROS and oxidative stress studies
