Bioactivity | Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), widely distributed in aerobic organisms, catalyzes dismutation of the superoxide free radical, O2-, to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide and apparently protects against oxygen toxicity. In human erythrocytes, O2- arises from autoxidation of oxyhemoglobin and SOD activity is copper-dependent. |
Transport | Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere. |
Storage | Please store the product under the recommended conditions in the Certificate of Analysis. |
