Biological background

Biological context: Structural component of the gap junctions and the hemichannels.

Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Cell membrane. Multi-pass membrane protein. Gap junction., tissue context: Expressed in fetal and adult brain. Also detected in fetal liver and skeletal muscle, but not in their adult counterparts..

Common research applications

• Western blotting (WB): Compare ALDH6A1 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of ALDH6A1 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
• Flow cytometry: Quantify ALDH6A1-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
• ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
• Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.

Additional product notes (from provided fields)

• Background: Methylmalonate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase [acylating], mitochondrial (MMSDH) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ALDH6A1 gene. This gene encodes a member of the aldehyde dehydrogenase protein family. The encoded protein is a mitochondrial methylmalonate semialdehyde dehydrogenase that plays a role in the valine and pyrimidine catabolic pathways. This protein catalyzes the irreversible oxidative decarboxylation of malonate and methylmalonate semialdehydes to acetyl- and propionyl-CoA. Methylmalonate semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency is characterized by elevated beta-alanine, 3-hydroxypropionic acid, and both isomers of 3-amino and 3-hydroxyisobutyric acids in urine organic acids. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
• Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
• Cellular localization: Cell membrane. Multi-pass membrane protein. Gap junction.
• Tissue details: Expressed in fetal and adult brain. Also detected in fetal liver and skeletal muscle, but not in their adult counterparts.
• Research category: Organelles,Subcellular Markers,Tags & Cell Markers
