Superoxide Dismutase (SOD2) is a number of the iron/manganese superoxide dismutase family. SOD2 is a mitochondrial protein that forms a homotetramer and binds one manganese ion per subunit. The SOD2 protein transforms toxic superoxide and a byproduct of the mitochondrial electron transport chain into hydrogen peroxide and diatomic oxygen. Genetic variation in SOD2 is associated with microvascular complications of diabetes type 6 (MVCD6); idiopathic cardiomyopathy (IDC); sporadic motor neuron disease; and cancer. SOD2 destroys superoxide anion radicals which are usually produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems.

< 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

Supplied as a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20mM Tris-HCl, 100mM NaCl, 50% Glycerol, pH 8.0.

Recombinant Human Superoxide Dismutase [Mn] Mitochondrial is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Lys25-Lys222 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus.
