Gene Information

human ... ALDH1A2(8854)

General description

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family, member A2 (ALDH1a2) gene is mapped to human chromosome 15q21.3. It belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) family. The product of ALDH1a2 gene is the enzyme retinaldehyde dehydrogenase type 2. The protein is found in few adult tissues, mainly in the urogenital tract.

Immunogen

Retinal dehydrogenase 2 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-ALDH1A2 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
  • immunohistochemistry
  • immunofluorescence
  • western blotting
Anti-ALDH1A2 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 protein array and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige. Anti-ALDH1A2 antibody is also suitable for use in indirect immunofluorescence.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family, member A2 (ALDH1a2), also known as retinaldehyde dehydrogenase type II (RALDH2), catalyzes the synthesis of all trans-retinoic acid from vitamin A. ALDH1a2 acts as a tumor suppressor. It plays a vital role in early embryonic and cardiac development. Variation in the ALDH1a2 gene expression may increase the risk of developing congenital heart disease (CHD). Reduced levels of ALDH1a2 has been observed in human prostate cancer patients.

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.
