Description
Description: Recombinant full-length human SOD3 was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag.
Scientific Background: Extracellular superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn] (SOD3) protects the extracellular space from toxic effect of reactive oxygen intermediates by converting superoxide radicals into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen. Although the function of SOD3 as a regulator of cellular growth has been well established, the role of SOD3 in tumorigenesis is still unclear
