sodA, 1-206aa, E.coli, His tag, E.coli

Superoxide dismutase, Mn, also known as sodA, is a member of the iron/manganese superoxide dismutase family. SodA destroys radicals which are normally produced within the cells and which are toxic to biological systems. It works by catalyzing the dismutation of the superoxide radical O2- to O2 and H2O2, which are then metabolized to H2O and O2 by catalase and glutathione peroxidase. Recombinant E.coli sodA protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
