| SOD3

Extracellular superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn] is an enzyme that is encoded by the SOD3 gene.This gene encodes a member of the superoxide dismutase (SOD) protein family. SODs are antioxidant enzymes that catalyze the dismutation of two superoxide radicals into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen. The product of this gene is thought to protect the brain, lungs, and other tissues from oxidative stress. The protein is secreted into the extracellular space and forms a glycosylated homotetramer that is anchored to the extracellular matrix (ECM) and cell surfaces through an interaction with heparan sulfate proteoglycan and collagen.
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

 

Concentration (ng/mL)	200	100	50	25	12.5	6.25	3.12	0
OD	2.45	1.46	0.89	0.57	0.39	0.28	0.23	0.09
Corrected OD	2.36	1.37	0.8	0.48	0.3	0.19	0.14	-

 

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Mouse SOD3 spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Serum(n=8)	84-104	96
Plasma(n=8)	92-105	102
Cell Culture Supernates(n=8)	96-108	104

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Mouse SOD3 and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

1 : 2	Range (%)	85-95	88-96	90-110
	Average (%)	91	93	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	88-103	87-108	105-115
