Anti-ALDH1A2 Antibody

ALDH1A2 is the rate-limiting retinaldehyde dehydrogenase (RALDH2) that converts retinaldehyde to retinoic acid during vertebrate embryogenesis, making this Antibodies.com polyclonal reagent a useful probe for laboratories studying retinoic-acid-dependent signaling. Raised in rabbits and affinity-purified as an unconjugated IgG, the antibody recognizes ALDH1A2 across human, mouse, and rat samples, so a single lot can be deployed across comparative developmental and cancer biology models. The 100 µl vial is intended for western blot on cell and tissue lysates and for immunohistochemistry on fixed tissue sections, supporting full-length protein detection in immunoblotting and in situ expression-mapping workflows. Shipped refrigerated on blue ice, the reagent should be aliquoted on arrival and stored at -20 °C in single-use fractions to preserve IgG binding activity through repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Researchers investigating spermatogonial differentiation, hindbrain patterning, or ALDH1A2-driven tumor microenvironments will find the polyclonal format helpful for capturing multiple epitopes on the native enzyme.
