• Target description: Superoxide dismutase [Mn], mitochondrial (UniProt: P04179; also known as EC:1.15.1.1, Mn-SOD) is encoded by the SOD2 gene (Gene ID: 6648) in human. Superoxide dismutases (SODs) provide defense against reactive oxygen species. Three types of SODs are found in organisms and are named based on the nature of the metal ion(s) found at their active sites. The Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu/ZnSOD), is primarily localized in the cytosol, nucleus, peroxisome, and intermembrane of mitochondria in eukaryotes. The Mn-SOD is found in the mitochondria, and the Fe-SOD is found primarily in bacteria. Mn-SOD is a homotetrameric enzyme, localized in the mitochondrial matrix, catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide radicals in mitochondria by converting anion superoxide into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen. Each monomer of Mn-SOD contains an active site bound to manganese (Mn) ion. Mn-SOD constitutes about 10 15% of the total SODs. The Mn ions can change between its 3+ and 2+ oxidation states within the dismutase mechanism that consists of two half-reactions. Electron exchange in metal complexes is reported to occur by either an inner-sphere or outer-sphere mechanism. In inner-sphere electron transfer, the metal cofactor is oxidized or reduced by a ligand bound directly to the metal, whereas in the outer-sphere mechanism, the metal is oxidized or reduced by a group not directly coordinated to the metal cofactor. The catalysis of superoxide anions by Mn-SOD occurs by an inner-sphere mechanism. Peroxynitrite radical can react with Mn-SOD that can cause a site-specific nitration of the critical tyrosine leading to its inactivation. Four isoforms of Mn-SOD have been described that are produced by alternative splicing. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
