Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an important antioxidative enzyme that catalyzes the dismutation of the superoxide anion into hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or molecular oxygen (O2).
The Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) Activity Assay Kit provides a sensitive and convenient way for detection of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) activity based on a colorimetric method in a variety of biological fluids. When reduction with superoxide anion, WST-1 produces a water-soluble formazan dye, which can be easily detected at 450 nm using a spectrophotometer or an ELISA plate reader. The rate of the reduction with a superoxide anion is linearly correlated to the xanthine oxidase (XO) activity, and is inhibited by SOD.
