Other Names | Delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase, ALADH, Porphobilinogen synthase, ALAD |
Target/Specificity | This ALAD antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 244-272 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human ALAD. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 IHC-P~~1:50~100 FC~~1:10~50 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis against PBS. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | ALAD Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | ALAD |
---|---|
Function | Catalyzes an early step in the biosynthesis of tetrapyrroles. Binds two molecules of 5-aminolevulinate per subunit, each at a distinct site, and catalyzes their condensation to form porphobilinogen. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P10518} |

Background
The ALAD enzyme is composed of 8 identical subunits and catalyzes the condensation of 2 molecules of delta-aminolevulinate to form porphobilinogen (a precursor of heme, cytochromes and other hemoproteins). ALAD catalyzes the second step in the porphyrin and heme biosynthetic pathway; zinc is essential for enzymatic activity. ALAD enzymatic activity is inhibited by lead and a defect in the ALAD structural gene can cause increased sensitivity to lead poisoning and acute hepatic porphyria.
