Mouse Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 1 Family, Member A1 (ALDH1A1) ELISA Kit

This Assay Genie kit provides quantitative measurement of mouse ALDH1A1, the 55 kDa cytosolic enzyme that converts retinaldehyde into retinoic acid. ALDH1A1 is widely used as a marker for cancer stem-like cells in mammary, colorectal, and lung tumor models, and its expression is associated with chemoresistance and tumor-initiating capacity. The assay supports research on hepatic retinoid metabolism, embryonic stem cell differentiation, and aldehyde detoxification pathways.

Each kit is supplied with a pre-coated microplate, capture and detection antibodies, recombinant protein standards, and chromogenic substrate sufficient for quantitative analysis. Reagents should be stored refrigerated at the temperatures specified in the package insert and used within the indicated shelf life. The kit is for research use only in studies of stem cell biology, tumor initiation, and retinoic acid signaling.
