Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cytosolic NAD-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of retinaldehyde and other reactive aldehydes into their corresponding carboxylic acids. ALDH1A1 Antibody / Cancer Stem Cell and Retinoic Acid Metabolism Marker is useful for studying aldehyde detoxification, retinoic acid biosynthesis, epithelial differentiation, and stem cell-associated signaling pathways. ALDH1A1 belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily and is highly expressed in tissues with active metabolic and detoxification functions including liver, gastrointestinal epithelium, cornea, and certain stem cell-enriched cellular populations.
ALDH1A1 antibody, also known as Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 antibody or Retinal dehydrogenase 1 antibody in the literature, recognizes a protein that plays an important role in cellular protection against oxidative and electrophilic stress. Through the generation of retinoic acid from retinaldehyde substrates, ALDH1A1 contributes to transcriptional regulation mediated by retinoic acid receptors and retinoid-responsive developmental pathways. The enzyme is localized primarily within the cytoplasm where it supports metabolic homeostasis and protects cells from toxic aldehyde accumulation generated during lipid peroxidation and xenobiotic metabolism.
ALDH1A1 has become widely recognized as a cancer stem cell marker in numerous tumor types including breast carcinoma, lung cancer, colorectal carcinoma, ovarian carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Elevated ALDH1A1 expression has been associated with tumor initiation capacity, chemoresistance, metastatic progression, and poor clinical outcome in several malignancies. In immunohistochemistry studies, ALDH1A1 expression is commonly observed in epithelial cell populations and stem-like tumor compartments, making this target valuable for cancer pathology and tumor heterogeneity research. The enzyme has also been implicated in regulation of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, cellular plasticity, and resistance to oxidative injury within aggressive tumor subpopulations.
In normal tissues, ALDH1A1 participates in alcohol-derived aldehyde metabolism and detoxification processes that are particularly important in hepatic tissue. Strong hepatic expression is consistent with the established role of ALDH1A1 in intermediary metabolism and cellular defense against reactive aldehydes. Additional expression has been described in gastric and intestinal epithelium, ocular tissue, hematopoietic progenitors, and stem cell-associated niches. Because of its broad metabolic importance, ALDH1A1 is frequently studied in toxicology, developmental biology, regenerative medicine, and oncology research applications.
This rabbit polyclonal ALDH1A1 antibody supports multiple experimental workflows including western blotting, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry analysis. The broad human, mouse, and rat reactivity profile makes the antibody useful for comparative mammalian expression studies and translational disease models involving epithelial differentiation, retinoid metabolism, stem cell biology, and aldehyde detoxification pathways.
Metabolism-related aldehyde detoxification and retinoic acid signaling pathways involving ALDH1A1 are further highlighted in our Metabolism Antibodies page featuring targets associated with cellular bioenergetics, oxidative stress regulation, and metabolic disease research.
Optimal dilution of the ALDH1A1 Antibody / Cancer Stem Cell and Retinoic Acid Metabolism Marker should be determined by the researcher.
A human recombinant protein (amino acids T6-Q342) was used as the immunogen for the ALDH1A1 antibody.
After reconstitution, the ALDH1A1 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
