ALDH1A1 (Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 1A1) (ALDH1A1/1382), 1mg/mL

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 (ALDH1A1), also known as retinal dehydrogenase 1, belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme family, which is involved in the metabolism of alcohol. ALDH1A1 is predominantly expressed in the epithelium of testis, brain, eye, liver, kidney, as well as neural and hematopoietic stem cells. Reportedly, high ALDH1A1 expression is found in solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) and hemangiopericytoma (HPC), compared to meningiomas and synovial sarcomas. In combination with CD34, ALDH1A1 may be useful for the differentiation among SFT, HPC, meningioma, and synovial sarcoma. Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.
