ALDH1A3 (Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family, member A3) is a cytosolic enzyme that belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily, which is responsible for oxidizing aldehydes to their corresponding carboxylic acids. ALDH1A3 plays a central role in retinoic acid biosynthesis by catalyzing the conversion of retinaldehyde to retinoic acid, a signaling molecule crucial for embryonic development, tissue differentiation, and homeostasis. Researchers often use an ALDH1A3 antibody to investigate retinoid metabolism, developmental biology, and cancer pathways.
ALDH1A3 is broadly expressed in various tissues, including the brain, lung, pancreas, and liver. Its activity regulates local retinoic acid concentrations, thereby influencing gene expression through retinoic acid receptor-mediated transcription. Beyond its developmental functions, ALDH1A3 has emerged as an important biomarker in cancer biology. High expression levels have been associated with cancer stem cell populations and resistance to chemotherapy in several tumor types, including glioblastoma, pancreatic cancer, and breast cancer. Employing an ALDH1A3 antibody provides researchers with a valuable tool for detecting these subpopulations and understanding mechanisms of tumor progression.
Recent studies also suggest that ALDH1A3 contributes to metabolic adaptation by modulating lipid and glucose metabolism, further linking it to disease processes such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Because of its dual roles in normal physiology and disease, ALDH1A3 is an active focus in both basic and translational research. Using an ALDH1A3 antibody enables precise detection and characterization of this enzyme in contexts ranging from developmental biology to oncology.
NSJ Bioreagents offers a high-quality ALDH1A3 antibody validated for applications including western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. Selecting an ALDH1A3 antibody from NSJ Bioreagents ensures consistent performance and reliable results in studies of retinoid metabolism, cancer biology, and metabolic regulation.
Optimal dilution of the ALDH1A3 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Amino acids N37-K154 from the human protein were used as the immunogen for the ALDH1A3 antibody.
After reconstitution, the ALDH1A3 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
