Recombinant Rabbit Superoxide Dismutase [Cu-Zn] (SOD1), N-His

Rabbit Superoxide Dismutase [Cu-Zn] (SOD1) is a crucial antioxidant enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of the superoxide anion (O₂⁻) to hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and molecular oxygen (O₂). This enzyme is essential for protecting cells from oxidative stress by neutralizing harmful reactive oxygen species. In rabbits, SOD1 is widely expressed in various tissues and is particularly important for maintaining cellular redox balance. It is localized in the cytosol, nucleus, and mitochondrial intermembrane space. SOD1 plays a vital role in preventing oxidative damage to lipids, proteins, and DNA, which is linked to numerous diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, and neurodegenerative conditions. Additionally, SOD1 has been implicated in vascular function and endothelial health, where it helps maintain normal blood flow and prevents endothelial dysfunction. Its antioxidant properties make SOD1 an important factor in both health and disease states in rabbits.
