Product Description
Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 1A1 Human Recombinant, Active
Overview
ALDH1A1 is part of the aldehyde dehydrogenases family. Aldehyde dehydrogenase is the 2nd protein of the main oxidative pathway of alcohol metabolism. Cytosolic and mitochondrial are 2 main liver isoforms of ALDH that are differentiateed by their electrophoretic mobility, kinetic property, & subcellular localization. The majority of Caucasians have two main isozymes, whereas just about 50% of Orientals have only the cytosolic form, excluding the mitochondrial form. ALDH1A1 is also a member of the group of corneal crystallins that assist the transparency of the cornea. (Retinal + NAD+ + H2O = retinoate + NADH).
Biological Activity
> 700 pmol/min/ug, as determined by the increase of NADH in absorbance at 340nm resulting from the reduction of NAD at pH 8.8 at 37C.
Specifications
