Anti-ALDH1, clone AHDH1-1

0.2 mg/ml with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced), 0.05% sodium azide. ALDH1A1 belongs to the ALDH enzymes, a family of evolutionarily conserved enzymes comprised of 19 isoforms that are localized in the cytoplasm, mitochondria or nucleus. ALDH1 is predominantly expressed in the epithelium of testis, brain, eye, liver, kidney, as well as neural and hematopoietic stem cells. Reportedly, high ALDH1 expression is found in solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) and hemangiopericytoma (HPC), compared to meningiomas and synovial sarcomas. In combination with CD34, ALDH1 may be useful for the differentiation among SFT, HPC, meningioma, and synovial sarcoma. Protein function: Binds free retinal and cellular retinol-binding protein- bound retinal. Can convert/oxidize retinaldehyde to retinoic acid. [The UniProt Consortium]
