Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are essential metalloenzymes that protect cells from oxidative damage by catalyzing the dismutation of superoxide anions into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. This reaction plays a fundamental role in the cellular antioxidant defense system,.
BQC SOD Activity Assay Kit is based on the reduction of the water-soluble tetrazolium [WST-1, 2-(4-Iodophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2,4 disulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium monosodium salt] to the water-soluble formazan dye (WST-1 formazan, λ = 450 nm) by superoxide radicals (O2•−).
