Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes superoxide dismutase (gene SOD2) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for IHC, ICC/IF and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 24.8 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 24 kDa.
Superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2, MnSOD) is a manganese-containing enzyme in the mitochondrial matrix that converts superoxide made during respiration into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen. As a major defense against mitochondrial oxidative damage, it is widely used as a marker in studies of oxidative stress, mitochondrial function and aging.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HepG2 cells, rat liver tissue, rat lung tissue, mouse liver tissue, mouse lung tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human mammary cancer tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in citrate buffer (pH 6).
Samples with confirmed staining (ICC/IF): A549 cells, SMMC-7721 cells.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the C-terminal region of human SOD2. It differs from the mouse sequence at one residue and from the rat sequence at four residues.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places superoxide dismutase in the mitochondrion matrix. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
