At least two isoforms of Aldh3A1 are known to exist. This antibody is predicted to have no cross-reactivity to Aldh3A2.
Purification
Aldh3A1 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
Aldh3A1 antibody was raised against a 13 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of the human Aldh3A1. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of Aldh3A1.

Target
ALDH3A1
(Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 3 Family, Member A1 (ALDH3A1))
Aldh3A1 Antibody: Aldh3A1 is a member of the aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily, a group of NAD(P)(+)-dependent enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of a wide spectrum of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes. Aldh3A1 is highly expressed in stomach and even more strongly in cornea, representing between 5 to 50 % of the water soluble protein fraction in mammalian corneas. It is thought that Aldh3A1 acts to protect the cornea from UV-induced oxidative stress by not only detoxification of reactive aldehydes by also through the direct absorbtion of UV energy. However, corneas from Aldh3A1-null mice are indistinguishable from those from wild-type mice, mice lacking both Aldh3A1 and Aldh1A1 showed increased cataract formation following UVB exposure, suggesting that Aldh1A1 may be able to compensate for the loss of Aldh3A1.
