Superoxide dismutase 1, soluble Adenovirus
The superoxide dismutase family is composed of three metalloenzymes (SOD-1, SOD-2 and SOD-3) that catalyze the oxido-reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide anion. Unlike SOD-1, which is a homodimeric cytosolic Cu-Zn enzyme, SOD-2 is a 22 kDa homotetrameric manganese enzyme (also known as MnSOD) that functions in the mitochondrion. SOD-1 activity depends on the delivery of copper cofactors by Copper chaperone for SOD-1 (CCS). CCS prevents copper ions from binding to intracellular scavengers, thus securing copper for SOD-1.

Description (eCommerce)
Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) binds copper and zinc ions and is one of two isozymes responsible for destroying free superoxide radicals in the body. SOD1 is a soluble cytoplasmic protein, acting as a homodimer to convert naturally-occuring but harmful superoxide radicals to molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The other isozyme is a mitochondrial protein. Mutations in this gene have been implicated as causes of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [taken from NCBI Entrez Gene (Gene ID: 6647)].

About Storage Conditions
All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity.
We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
