Description:

Description: The NAD-dependent Aldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH) plays a vital role in cellular detoxification. It oxidizes various aldehydes and generates the corresponding carboxyolic acid. ALDH have been found in every cellular compartment. Based on its structure and function, ALDH comprises 3 major classes in mammals: Class 1 and Class 3 (the tumor form) are located in the cytosol and include both constitutive and induced forms; Class 2 is located in the mitochondria and only exists as the constitutive form. In humans, the ALDH superfamily consists of 19 genes. The mutation of ALDH genes (loss of function) causes human diseases such as Type II hyperprolinemia, pyridoxine-dependent seizure and hyperammonemia. Recent studies show that increased ALDH activity leads to several types of malignancies, serves as a cancer stem cell marker and correlates with poor prognosis. Therefore the early detection of ALDH activity levels can be prognostic and guide the therapeutic strategies. GenWays PicoProbe™ Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Activity Assay Kit is a robust tool to quantify ALDH enzymatic activity. In this assay, acetaldehyde is oxidized by ALDH to form the NADH which couples with the PicoProbe to generate a potent fluorescence (Ex/Em = 535/587). The ALDH fluorometric assay kit is 10 times more sensitive than the ALDH colorimetric assay and can detect < 0.05 mU ALDH activity (based on our unit definition) in a variety of samples. Summary: - Detection method- Fluorescence (Ex/Em 535/587 nm)- Sample type- Cell and Tissue culture supernatants, cell lysates, plasma and serum, as well as many other biological fluids etc.- Species reactivity- Mammalian - Application- The ALDH fluorometric assay kit is 10 times more sensitive than the ALDH colorimetric assay and can detect < 0.05 mU ALDH activity (based on our unit definition) in a variety of samples. Kit components: - ALDH Assay Buffer- Acetaldehyde- PicoProbeTM (in DMSO)- ALDH Substrate Mix (Lyophilized)- ALDH Positive Control (Lyophilized)- NADH Standard (0.5 µmol, Lyophilized)Features and Benefits: - Simple procedure- Fast and convenient- Sensitive assay for measuring ALDH activity in various biological samples and the kit is also suitable for high throughput analyses.
