ALDH1A2 Protein, recombinant human

Activity: Testing in progress Protein Construction: A DNA sequence encoding the Human ALDH1A2 protein (O94788) (27P-518S) was expressed with a polyhistidine tag at the N/C-terminus. Sequence: Pro27-Ser518. Fusion tag: N-His & C-His Endotoxin: Please contact us for more information. Apparent Molecular Mass: 50 kDa. Protein function: Recognizes as substrates free retinal and cellular retinol-binding protein-bound retinal. Does metabolize octanal and decanal but does not metabolize citral, benzaldehyde, acetaldehyde and propanal efficiently. Protein function: Converts retinaldehyde to retinoic acid (PubMed:29240402). Recognizes as substrates free retinal and cellular retinol-binding protein-bound retinal. Can metabolize octanal and decanal, but has only very low activity with benzaldehyde, acetaldehyde and propanal. Displays complete lack of activity with citral. [The UniProt Consortium]
