Aldehyde dehydrogenase follows alcohol dehydrogenase in the major pathway of alcohol metabolism. Notably, there are two major aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes in the liver: cytosolic and mitochondrial. This gene encodes the cytosolic isozyme. Finally, human ALDH1A1 is 501 amino acids in length. Mouse and rat ALDH1A1 are 87% and 86% identical to human ALDH1A1, respectively.\u003cbr\u003e\nREACH authorisation\u003cbr\u003e\nAbcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nALDH1A1 also known as aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 is an enzyme with a molecular weight of approximately 54 kDa. It functions by catalyzing the irreversible oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids which is an important step in detoxifying alcohol-derived acetaldehyde and other aldehydes. ALDH1A1 is expressed in various tissues including liver kidney and cornea. Its activity allows for maintaining cellular homeostasis by processing endogenous and exogenous aldehydes.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nALDH1A1 plays significant roles in the biosynthesis of retinoic acid an important regulator of gene expression in developmental and adult processes. It does not form part of a larger enzyme complex but functions independently. The ALDH1A1 proteins contribute to the regulation of cell proliferation differentiation and survival. Researchers often measure its expression using methods like the ALDH1A1 ELISA which quantifies the protein levels in biological samples.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe ALDH1A1 enzyme is notably implicated in the retinoid metabolism pathway and the detoxification of alcohol-derived aldehydes within the body. It is closely related to other members of the aldehyde dehydrogenase family including ALDH2 which shares similar detoxification functions. ALDH1A1’s role in retinoic acid production links it to gene expression pathways associated with cell differentiation and growth.\u003cbr\u003e\nALDH1A1 has associations with cancer and alcohol-induced liver disease. Its elevated expression in cancerous tissues often correlates with stem-cell like characteristics and chemoresistance. A connection exists between ALDH1A1 and ALDH2 in the context of alcohol metabolism where ALDH1A1's role in detoxifying acetaldehyde contributes to the lower risk of alcohol-induced damage. Studies explore ALDH1A1 antibodies and inhibitors as potential therapeutic approaches for these conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843581300905,"sku":"ab214024","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab214024","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
