Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) serves as a critical antioxidant enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of superoxide radicals to hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen, protecting cells from oxidative damage. This cytosolic copper-zinc metalloenzyme has garnered significant research attention due to its established role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), where mutations in SOD1 account for a substantial proportion of familial cases. Beyond neurodegeneration, SOD1 participates in cellular redox signaling and has been implicated in cancer biology and metabolic regulation, making it a valuable target across multiple research disciplines.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody (clone 8C4) offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Because recombinant antibodies are produced from defined sequences rather than hybridoma supernatants, researchers benefit from lot-to-lot uniformity that supports longitudinal studies and ensures comparable results across experiments. The antibody is raised against recombinant human SOD1 protein and has been validated for human sample detection.
Validation studies demonstrate reliable performance in both immunofluorescence and flow cytometry applications. Immunofluorescence staining of HeLa cells reveals clear cytoplasmic localization consistent with SOD1's known subcellular distribution, with effective detection at dilutions ranging from 1:20 to 1:200. Flow cytometry analysis of permeabilized HeLa cells shows distinct positive population shifts compared to isotype controls, confirming specific intracellular detection at 1:50 dilution.
This antibody supports investigations into oxidative stress responses, ALS disease mechanisms, cancer metabolism, and signal transduction pathways where redox balance plays a regulatory role. The unconjugated format provides flexibility for researchers to pair with their preferred secondary detection systems.
