Product details:
Human Superoxide Dismutase 1 SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Superoxide Dismutase 1 protein in human serum, plasma, saliva and cell culture supernatant. Quantitate Human Superoxide Dismutase 1 with 0.468 ng/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Superoxide Dismutase 1 (SOD1) also known as Cu/Zn SOD or simply dismutase is an enzyme important for the detoxification of superoxide radicals. SOD1 catalyzes the conversion of two superoxide molecules into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide maintaining cellular redox balance. This enzyme typically exhibits a mass of approximately 32 kDa. SOD1 is expressed in the cytoplasm of cells throughout the body including tissues like liver kidney and brain.
Biological function summary
The enzyme functions as a homodimer with each subunit containing a copper and zinc ion. These metal ions are essential for the catalytic activity of SOD1 as the copper ion participates in electron transfer while the zinc ion provides structural stability. The enzyme protects cells from oxidative stress by neutralizing excess reactive oxygen species ensuring cellular health and functioning.
Pathways
SOD1 plays an important role in the cellular antioxidant defense system and is a part of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolic pathway. It works in conjunction with catalase and glutathione peroxidase to limit oxidative damage within cells. The close interaction between these enzymes highlights the interdependence within the antioxidant defense network emphasizing their role in maintaining cellular homeostasis.
Mutations in the SOD1 gene are linked to familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) a neurodegenerative condition. In ALS aberrant SOD1 proteins may lead to increased oxidative stress and motor neuron damage. Research also connects SOD1 to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease where oxidative stress is a contributing factor. These associations underline SOD1's significance in neurodegenerative diseases highlighting potential therapeutic targets for interventions focused on oxidative stress management.
