Uses
Suggested starting dilutions are as follows: IHC-P: 1:100-1:1000, WB: 1:500-1:3000. Not yet tested in other applications. Optimal working dilutions should be determined experimentally by the end user.
Biological Activity
ALDH7A1 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 7 family member A1) is needed for lysine catabolism. It is responsible for NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)-dependent oxidation of α-aminoadipate semialdehyde (AASA) to α-aminoadipate (AA). It is also required for the degradation of acetaldehyde which is made during alcohol metabolism. It is upregulated in various cancers, including prostate cancer, non-small cell lung carcinoma and ovarian tumors. Mutations in ALDH7A1 are linked with seizure disorder pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE).
