ALDH1A1

SYNONYMS
ALDC, Aldehyde dehydrogenase cytosolic, Aldehyde dehydrogenase family 1 member A1, ALDH1, ALDH11, ALDH-E1, ALHDII, MGC2318, PUMB1, RalDH1, RALDH1, RALDH 1, Retinal dehydrogenase 1, ALDH1A1.

INTRODUCTION
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).

DESCRIPTION
The ALDH1A1 Human recombinant protein is a single, non-glycosilated polypeptide chain produced in E. coli, having a molecular weight of 54.8kDa and containing 501 amino acids (1-501 a.a.).
