Acetaldehyde Dehydrogenase(ALDH) Activity Assay Kit

Determination of Significance: Aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.10) is a kind of aldehyde dehydrogenase. It widely exists in various animals, plants and microorganisms. In the presence of coenzyme I, it can catalyze the dehydrogenation of some primary or secondary alcohols including ethanol, aldehydes or ketones. In humans and many animals, mitochondrial acetaldehyde dehydrogenase can transform harmful alcohols. So in the study of cell detoxification, glyoxal dehydrogenase is highly concerned; Aldehyde dehydrogenase is widely used in molecular biology and detection of related diseases. Measurement Principle: Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of acetaldehyde and NAD+ to acetic acid and NADH. The activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase can be calculated by the change of absorbance value of NADH at 340 nm. Self Provided: Ultraviolet spectrophotometer/microplate reader, desk centrifuge, water-bath/ constant temperature incubator, adjustable pipette, micro quartz cuvette/96 well flat-bottom UV plate, mortar /homogenizer/ sonicator, ice and distilled water.
