ALDH7A1 Proteins and Enzymes

Antiquitin (Aldh7a1) is an evolutionarily conserved protein believed to play a role in the regulation of cellular turgor. Based on sequence analysis, this protein is classified as a member of the aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily (1). Analysis of the amount of mRNA in various rat and human tissues indicates that the largest amounts are found in rat kidney and liver and in cultured human hepatoma cells. Only minimal amounts were detected in human peripheral blood leukocytes, rat lung, or ...
