Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects all-trans-retinol dehydrogenase (gene ADH4) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 40.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 40 kDa.
Alcohol dehydrogenase 4 (ADH4, class II ADH) is a liver enzyme that oxidizes all-trans- and 9-cis-retinol, as well as other alcohols and hydroxy fatty acids. It is studied for its contribution to retinoid and ethanol metabolism.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
|---|
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): huamn HepG2 cells, human HeLa cells, rat liver tissue, rat RH35 cells, mouse iver tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 10% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Recombinant human ADH4 fragment (Lys218–Phe380), expressed in E. coli. Sequence identity with the mouse and rat orthologs: 68.7% and 71.8%, respectively.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places all-trans-retinol dehydrogenase in the cytoplasm. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
