Rat SOD2 (Superoxide Dismutase 2, Mitochondrial) ELISA Kit (RTES00995)

Mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (SOD2) is a manganese-dependent antioxidant enzyme that neutralizes reactive oxygen species generated during oxidative phosphorylation, making it a key biomarker in studies of oxidative stress, aging, neurodegeneration, and metabolic dysfunction. This rat-specific quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie is built for researchers measuring SOD2 protein levels in tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and related experimental samples to investigate mitochondrial antioxidant capacity. The plate-based microplate format provides 96 individual determinations and uses an absorbance readout compatible with standard laboratory readers. Each kit ships with pre-coated wells, calibrated standards, and detection reagents sufficient for the full run, and the competitive binding design enables sensitive detection of native SOD2 in complex matrices. Intended for research use only, the assay supports downstream applications including western blot validation, cell culture supernatant profiling, and pharmacological studies of compounds that modulate mitochondrial ROS production. Researchers studying ischemia-reperfusion injury, diabetic complications, or exercise-induced oxidative adaptation will find this kit aligned with their workflow.
