• Specificity: Clone 4J6 ZooMAb is a rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects human Retinal Dehydrogenase 1. It targets an epitope within 19 amino acids from the C-terminal region.
• Immunogen: KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 19 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human Retinal dehydrogenase 1.
• Application: Anti-ALDH1A1, clone 4J6 ZooMAb , Cat. No. ZRB1099, is a highly specific rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that targets ALDH1A1 and has been tested for use in Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), Immunoprecipitation, and Western Blotting.
• Target description: Retinal dehydrogenase 1 (UniProt: P00352; also known as RALDH 1, RalDH1, ALDH-E1, ALHDII, Aldehyde dehydrogenase family 1 member A1, Aldehyde dehydrogenase, cytosolic) is encoded by the ALDH1A1 (also known as ALDC, ALDH1, PUMB1) gene (Gene ID: 216) in human. Retinal dehydrogenase 1 is a ubiquitously distributed cytosolic enzyme that serves as a detoxification enzyme and generates retinoic acid. It catalyzes the oxidation of retinal to retinoic acid that is essential for differentiation, development, and survival of dopaminergic neurons. It can also play a role in cellular defense against oxidative stress by oxidizing 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) produced during lipid peroxidation. It is also involved in several other biological processes, such as stem cell maintenance, UV-radiation resistance, melanogenesis, and spermatogenesis, by catalyzing the conversion of specific aldehydes to their corresponding carboxylic acids. Retinal dehydrogenase 1 contains multiple NAD binding sites. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
