Anti-ALDH1B1

This protein belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenases family of proteins. Aldehyde dehydrogenase is the second enzyme of the major oxidative pathway of alcohol metabolism. This gene does not contain introns in the coding sequence. The variation of this locus may affect the development of alcohol-related problems. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008], Protein function: ALDHs play a major role in the detoxification of alcohol- derived acetaldehyde. They are involved in the metabolism of corticosteroids, biogenic amines, neurotransmitters, and lipid peroxidation. [The UniProt Consortium] Recommended dilutions: Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000.
