Bovine Superoxide Dismutase (from Erythrocytes), MP Biomedicals
Enzymes
Superoxide dismutases are enzymes that catalyze the dismutation of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide
- Presentation: Pale Blue Powder
- Extinction Coefficient (E1%): 2.64 (1%/280) (Lit.)
- Isoelectric point (pl): 4.95 (Lit.)
- Dissolves readily at 5mg/mL in 0.05M potassium phosphate/0.1mM EDTA pH 7.8, to give a clear slightly blue solution.
Superoxide Dismutase plays a critical role in the defense of cells against the toxic effects of oxygen radicals. Superoxide dismutase 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.
Superoxide dismutase catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide radicals to hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen. It competes with nitric oxide (NO) for superoxide anion (which reacts with NO to form peroxynitrite), thereby SOD promotes the activity of NO. SOD has also been shown to suppress apoptosis in cultured rat ovarian follicles, neural cell lines, and transgenic mice.
Thus, they are an important antioxidant defense in nearly all cells exposed to oxygen. Superoxide dismutases are a group of low molecular weight metalloproteins present in all aerobic cells of plants, animals and micro-organisms. They provide protection against damaging reactions with the superoxide radical anion (O2-) by catalyzing its disproportionation into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide.
