Product Description
Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 3 Family Member A1 Human Recombinant
Overview
ALDH3A1 is involved in the detoxification of alcohol-derived acetaldehyde. ALDH3A1 participates in the metabolism of corticosteroids, biogenic amines, neurotransmitters, and lipid peroxidation. ALDH3A1 oxidizes aromatic aldehyde substrates and toxic aldehydes. ALDH3A1 forms a cytoplasmic homodimer that oxidizes aromatic and medium-chain saturated and unsaturated aldehyde substrates. ALDH3A1 promotes resistance to UV and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal-induced oxidative damage in the cornea.
Biological Activity
Specific activity was found to be < 1 units/ml. Activity was obtained by measuring the increase of NADP in absorbance at 340 nm resulting from the reduction of NAD. 1 unit will oxidize 1umole of acetaldehyde to acetic acid per minute at pH 8 at 25°C in the presence of beta-NAD, potassium and thiols.
Specifications
| Purity | Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
|---|---|
| Formulation | ALDH3A1 solution containing 20mM Tris-HCl pH-8, 0.1M NaCl and 10% glycerol. |
| Storage | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Expression System | Escherichia Coli. |
