摘要

In-gel zymography allows the separation of protein via electrophoresis and subsequent measurement of enzymatic activity of enzymes from biological mixtures. The antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) is an important cytosolic oxygen radical scavenging enzyme that has been implicated in a range of pathologies, including cancer, metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases, most notably amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Here, we describe a method to detect and compare SOD1 activity from both cell and tissue samples. This method can be utilized to compare differences between ALS-associated SOD1 genetic variants and pharmacologically treated biological samples.
