CST, 5295S, ADH1 Antibody

Product Usage Information
Western Blotting: 1:1000
Storage
Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.
Protocol
Available protocols: Western Blotting
Specificity / Sensitivity
ADH1 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total ADH1 protein. The antigen is 100% conserved between human ADH1A, ADH1B and ADH1C proteins.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Val74 of human ADH1B protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
Human alcohol dehydrogenase ( ) genes are grouped into five classes, with three distinct class I genes ( , and ) and , , and belonging to classes II, III, IV, and V, respectively. ADH is a zinc-containing, dimeric enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of cytosolic alcohol to acetaldehyde in the liver with the coenzyme NAD (1). ADH1A is monomorphic and is the predominant fetal and neonatal liver ADH enzyme. In contrast, polymorphic ADH1B and ADH1C enzymes are predominant in adult livers (2). Polymorphisms in the human class I genes result in functionally variable ADH enzymes; evidence suggests that specific variants may provide protection from the risk of alcoholism (3).
