Application: Anti-ALDH1A1 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Biochem Physiol Actions: Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 (ALDH1A1) belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family. It plays a crucial role in ethanol metabolism in human. In addition to ethanol detoxification, it also has high impact on the metabolism of neurotransmitters and retinoic acid synthesis. It catalyzes the oxidation of endogenous and exogenous aldehydes depending on NAD(P)(+).
