It has a molecular mass of about 54 kDa and can be found expressed in various tissues including liver and brain. This enzyme is part of the aldehyde dehydrogenase family which plays significant roles in detoxifying aldehydes generated by alcohol metabolism and other metabolic activities.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe role of ALDH7A1 includes the breakdown of molecules within the cellular detoxification system. As a component of the lysine catabolism pathway it acts to detoxify certain aldehydes to prevent cell damage. ALDH7A1 is not known to form part of any larger protein complex but its activity is important in maintaining nitrogen balance and energy production within the body.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nSeveral factors dictate the participation of ALDH7A1 in metabolic functions. This protein is involved mainly in the lysine degradation pathway where it converts α-aminoadipic semialdehyde to other metabolites needed for energy production. It interacts with associated proteins such as pyridoxal phosphate for efficient function a cofactor necessary for the enzymatic action in lysine catabolism.\u003cbr\u003e\nDefects in ALDH7A1 can lead to pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy a rare genetic disorder caused by the accumulation of toxic metabolites due to impaired enzyme function. The disorder influences neurological development and can lead to seizures without treatment. ALDH7A1 dysfunction is also linked with aldehyde dehydrogenase liver deficiency where similarities with ALDH2 — another enzyme from the same family — can influence symptoms like alcohol sensitivity and metabolic responses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853966626985,"sku":"ab236663","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab236663","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
