Gene Information

human ... ALDH3A2(224)

General description

ALDH3A2 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 3 family, member A2) is a fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase, which has two alternatively spliced isoforms, differing at their C-termini. This gene is localized to human chromosome 17p11.2, spans 31kb, and contains 11 exons. The predominant isoform has 485 amino acids, and the other isoform has 508 amino acids. It also has three isoforms differing in their sizes, and the two longer transcripts are predominant in brain, heart, pancreas, and skeletal muscle. The shorter isoform is abundant in liver.

Immunogen

Fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-ALDH3A2 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.

Biochem/physiol Actions

ALDH3A2 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 3 family, member A2) is responsible for the oxidation of medium and long-chain fatty aldehydes, giving rise to carboxylic acids. It is a microsomal enzyme, and catalyzes the above reaction in an NAD (nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide)-dependent manner. It is also responsible for catalyzing the oxidation of fatty alcohols, and is a part of the fatty alcohol:NAD+ oxidoreductase (FAO) complex. Inactivation of this gene might lead to the accumulation of highly active lipids and fatty alcohols, eventually affecting the integrity of plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene lead to the autosomal recessive disorder called Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS), which is characterized by mental retardation, ichthyosis, and spastic diplegia or tetraplegia.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
