Anti-Tip60/KAT5 Antibody Picoband®

Histone acetyltransferase KAT5 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the KAT5 gene. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the MYST family of histone acetyl transferases (HATs) and was originally isolated as an HIV-1 TAT-interactive protein. HATs play important roles in regulating chromatin remodeling, transcription and other nuclear processes by acetylating histone and nonhistone proteins. This protein is a histone acetylase that has a role in DNA repair and apoptosis and is thought to play an important role in signal transduction. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.

Retinal dehydrogenase 1; RALDH 1; RalDH1; ALDH-E1; ALHDII; Aldehyde dehydrogenase family 1 member A; Aldehyde dehydrogenase, cytosolic; ALDH1A1; ALDC; ALDH1

Can convert/oxidize retinaldehyde to retinoic acid. Binds free retinal and cellular retinol-binding protein-bound retinal. May have a broader specificity and oxidize other aldehydes in vivo.
