The enzymes in this family catalyze the oxidation of various aldehydes, thereby facilitating their detoxification (1,2). ALDH2 activation correlates with decreased ischemic heart injury, suggesting an essential role of ALDH2 in cardiac protection from ischemic injury (3). Additionally, ALDH2 is the primary enzyme responsible for aldehyde oxidation in hematopoietic stem cells (4). ALDH2 is required for protecting these cells from DNA damage caused by acetaldehyde and plays a critical role in counteracting genotoxicity (4,5). Promoting ALDH2 activity in the brain attenuates neuroinflammation and may improve cognitive function, making this enzyme a therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) (6-9).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nacetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2; aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 family (mitochondrial); aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 family member; Aldehyde dehydrogenase, mitochondrial; ALDH class 2; ALDH-E2; ALDH2; ALDHI; ALDM; epididymis secretory sperm binding protein; liver mitochondrial ALDH; MGC1806; nucleus-encoded mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 56\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799907029161,"sku":"78856S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-78856s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
