Human ALDH3A1, recombinant (C-6His)

Recombinant Human Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Family 3 Member A1 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-His453 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Protein function: ALDHs play a major role in the detoxification of alcohol- derived acetaldehyde (Probable). They are involved in the metabolism of corticosteroids, biogenic amines, neurotransmitters, and lipid peroxidation (Probable). Oxidizes medium and long chain aldehydes into non-toxic fatty acids (PubMed:1737758). Preferentially oxidizes aromatic aldehyde substrates (PubMed:1737758). Comprises about 50 percent of corneal epithelial soluble proteins. May play a role in preventing corneal damage caused by ultraviolet light. [The UniProt Consortium]
