ADH1A, Human

(Alcohol dehydrogenase 1A, Alcohol dehydrogenase subunit alpha, ADH1A, ADH1.)

Alcohol dehydrogenase 1A (ADH1A) is a member of the alcohol dehydrogenase family. ADH1A has a key role in ethanol metabolism. ADH1A along with coenzyme NAD catalyzes the reversible conversion of organic alcohols to ketones or aldehydes. The physiologic function of ADH1A in the liver is the elimination of ethanol formed by microorganisms in the intestinal tract. ADH1A is monomorphic and predominant in fetal and infant livers, growing to be less active in gestation and only weakly active during adulthood.

ADH1A Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 395 amino acids (1-375) and having a molecular mass of 42kDa. ADH1A is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Source: E.coli.

Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered colorless solution.

Formulation: The ADH1A solution (1mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 1mM DTT, 10% glycerol and 0.1M NaCl.
