Recombinant Human ALDH1A2 Protein

• Background:

  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.

  Developmental Biology; Neuroscience

• Endotoxin:

  < 10 EU/mg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

• Purity:

  > 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

• Bioactivity:

  Not validated for activity

• Reconstitution:

  It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.5 mg/mL. Concentration is measured by UV-Vis.

• Shipping Conditions:

  This product is provided as lyophilized powder which is shipped with ice packs.

• Storage Conditions:

  Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
