Anti-MnSOD antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the MnSOD antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the SOD2 gene, which encodes superoxide dismutase 2. This protein is known to function in pathways of aging and the response to oxidative stress, among other biological roles. The human version of MnSOD has a canonical amino acid length of 222 residues and a protein mass of 24.8 kilodaltons, although 4 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the mitochondria of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include GC1, GClnc1, and IPO-B. A number of MnSOD antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
