ALDH7A1

aldehyde dehydrogenase 7 family member A1

ALDH7A1 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 7 family member A1), also known as alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde dehydrogenase or antiquitin, is a cytosolic and mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase. Researchers study ALDH7A1 in aldehyde detoxification, lysine-degradation biology and pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy.

About ALDH7A1

Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.

Biology

Biological function

ALDH7A1 is an aldehyde dehydrogenase with cytosolic and mitochondrial isoforms. It protects cells from oxidative stress by metabolising lipid-peroxidation-derived aldehydes and is also linked to the alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde step of human lysine degradation.

Experimental context

Research context

ALDH7A1 research focuses on aldehyde detoxification, oxidative stress, lysine-degradation pathways, subcellular enzyme localisation and the molecular basis of pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy. Experimental studies should distinguish total protein abundance from compartment-specific and catalytic effects.
