purity :
> 90% by SDS-PAGE
form :
Liquid. In 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5) containing 1mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol
concentration :
1 mg/ml (determined by Bradford assay)
storage stability :
Can be stored at 4 degree C short term (1-2 weeks). For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20 degree C or -70 degree C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
tested application :
SDS-PAGE
other info1 :
Antigen Species: Human
other info2 :
Expression System: E Coli. Bioactivity: Specific activity is > 0.14 units/ml, and was obtained by measuring the increase of NADP in absorbance at 340 nm resulting from the reduction of NAD. One unit will oxidize 1.0 umole of acetaldehyde to acetic acid per minute at pH 8.0 at 25C in the presence of beta-NAD, potassium and thiols. Endotoxin: < 1.0 Eu per 1 microgram of protein (determined by LAL method). Assay: 1. Prepare a 3ml reaction mixture into a suitable container: The final concentrations are 103 mM Tris, 0.67 mM beta-NAD, 100 mM potassium chloride, 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 2 mM acetaldehyde, 0.0007 % (w/v) BSA. 2. Equilibrate to 25C and monitor at A340nm until value is constant using a spectrophotometer. 3. Add 5ug of recombinant ALDH2 into reaction mixture and mix immediately. 4. Record the increase at A340nm for 5 minutes.

Redox Proteins
products description :
ALDH2 (Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 family) belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family which catalyze the chemical transformation from acetaldehyde to acetic acid and is the second enzyme of the major oxidative pathway of alcohol metabolism. There are two major liver isoforms of this enzyme, cytosolic and mitochondrial, and they can be also distinguished by their electrophoretic mobilities, kinetic properties, and subcellular localizations. Recombinant human ALDH2 protein was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

ncbi summary :
This protein belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family of proteins. Aldehyde dehydrogenase is the second enzyme of the major oxidative pathway of alcohol metabolism. Two major liver isoforms of aldehyde dehydrogenase, 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 inactive 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. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
