Anti-Zebrafish Sod2 / Superoxide dismutase 2

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Zebrafish Sod2, also known as superoxide dismutase 2, is a manganese containing antioxidant enzyme located in the mitochondrial matrix. It catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide radicals into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen, which is a critical step in defending cells against oxidative stress generated during mitochondrial respiration. Sod2 is essential for maintaining mitochondrial integrity, reducing oxidative damage to proteins, lipids, and DNA, and ensuring proper cellular metabolism and survival.Zebrafish Sod2 is an ortholog of the human SOD2 protein, with strong sequence and functional conservation. As in humans, Sod2 in zebrafish plays a vital role in protecting highly metabolic tissues such as the brain, heart, and muscles from oxidative damage. Mutations or reduced activity of Sod2 can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, contributing to developmental abnormalities and degenerative diseases.Currently, there are no confirmed isoforms of zebrafish Sod2. It is broadly expressed across tissues but is particularly abundant in cells with high energy demands. Zebrafish models deficient in Sod2 have been used to investigate the consequences of oxidative imbalance and to explore therapeutic approaches aimed at reducing mitochondrial stress.Antibodies targeting zebrafish Sod2 protein are important tools for studying mitochondrial antioxidant defense systems, oxidative signaling pathways, and stress responses. These antibodies can be utilized in western blot, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and ELISA to monitor Sod2 levels and localization in zebrafish tissues.
