Target Species: Bovine
Host Species: Mouse
Specificity: Recognizes copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD). Superoxide dismutases are ubiquitous metalloproteins that destroy oxygen-mediated free radicals, that are normally produced within the cells, which are toxic to biological systems. There are three forms of superoxide dismutase, including the Fe, mitochondrial (Mn) and the copper/zinc binding (Cu/Zn) form. The Cu/Zn form of SOD is utilized by most eukaryotic organisms. SOD Cu/Zn prevents oxygen-mediated free radical damage by catalyzing the dismutation of the toxic superoxide radical to molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Does not cross react with immunoglobulins but does react weakly with Mn SOD
