Acetaldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH) Assay Kit

Acetaldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH) Assay Kit 

Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.10) is a type of aldehyde dehydrogenase, widely present in various animals, plants, and microorganisms. Its main function is to oxidize acetaldehyde to acetic acid, playing a key role in alcohol metabolism. In humans and many animals, mitochondrial acetaldehyde dehydrogenase can convert alcohols that are harmful to organisms; therefore, this enzyme has received great attention in cell detoxification research. Meanwhile, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase has extensive research applications in molecular biology and the detection of related diseases.

In the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺, coenzyme Ⅰ), acetaldehyde dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of acetaldehyde and NAD⁺ into acetic acid and NADH. The absorbance at 340 nm increases, and the activity of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase can be calculated by measuring the change in absorbance at 340 nm.
