Superoxide dismutases (SOD) are a class of enzymes that catalyze the dismutation of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. As such, they are an important antioxidant defense in nearly all cells exposed to oxygen. There are three major families of superoxide dismutase, depending on the metal cofactor: Cu-Zn (which binds both copper and zinc), Fe and Mn types (which bind either iron or manganese), and finally the Ni type, which binds nickel.
8474-9510 recognises superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn) and has the following specificities as determined by ELISA at 50% maximal binding:
SOD, bovine RBCs (Cu-Zn)
100%
SOD, human RBCs (Cu-Zn)
30%
SOD, bovine liver (Mn)
14%
SOD, E. coli (Fe)
14%
SOD, E. coli (Mn)
