Background of ALDH2 antibody

This protein belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogese family of proteins.Aldehyde dehydrogese is the second enzyme of the major oxidative pathway of alcohol metabolism.Two major liver isoforms of aldehyde dehydrogese,cytosolic and mitochondrial,can be distinguished by their electrophoretic mobilities,kinetic properties,and subcellular localizations.Most Caucasians have two major isozymes,while approximately 50% of Orientals have the cytosolic isozyme but not the mitochondrial isozyme.A remarkably higher frequency of acute alcohol intoxication among Orientals than among Caucasians could be related to the absence of a catalytically active form of the mitochondrial isozyme.The increased exposure to acetaldehyde in individuals with the catalytically ictive form may also confer greater susceptibility to many types of cancer.This gene encodes a mitochondrial isoform,which has a low Km for acetaldehydes,and is localized in mitochondrial matrix.Altertive splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq,Mar 2011]
