ALDH1A2 Protein, Human (P.pastoris, His)
The ALDH1A2 protein catalyzes the NAD-dependent oxidation of aldehyde substrates, including all-trans -retinal and all-trans 13,14-dihydroretinal. ALDH1A2 Protein, Human (P.pastoris, His) is the recombinant human-derived ALDH1A2 protein, expressed by P. pastoris , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Biological Activity
Description
The ALDH1A2 protein catalyzes the NAD-dependent oxidation of aldehyde substrates, including all-trans -retinal and all-trans 13,14-dihydroretinal. ALDH1A2 Protein, Human (P.pastoris, His) is the recombinant human-derived ALDH1A2 protein, expressed by P. pastoris , with N-6*His labeled tag.
Background
ALDH1A2 protein plays a pivotal role in the NAD-dependent oxidation of various aldehyde substrates, such as all-trans-retinal and all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinal, converting them into their corresponding carboxylic acids, namely all-trans-retinoate and all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinoate. This enzymatic activity is essential for retinoate signaling, a process critical for the transcriptional control of numerous genes and notably crucial for the initiation of meiosis in both male and female organisms. ALDH1A2 can recognize retinal as a substrate, whether in its free form or when bound to cellular retinol-binding protein. While displaying the capability to metabolize octanal and decanal, ALDH1A2 exhibits only minimal activity with benzaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and propanal. Interestingly, it completely lacks activity with citral.
