Form : lyophilized powder

Activity : > 15 units/mg protein

Physical form : Contains potassium phosphate salts

Application : Aldehyde dehydrogenase, from baker′s yeast, is used to catalyze the oxidation of a wide range of substrates, such as acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, propionaldehyde, n-butylaldehyde, isobutylaldehyde, n-valeraldehyde, caproaldehyde, benzaldehyde, glycoaldehyde, D-glyceraldehyde, malonic semialdehyde, and succinic aldehyde. Aldehyde dehydrogenase, from S. cerevisiae has been used to study the production of ethanol and isobutanol 1.

Biochem/physiol Actions : Aldehyde dehydrogenase is inhibited by propylurea, crotonaldehyde, n-propyl isocyanate, cyclohexyl isocyanate, 1-n-propyl-1-[(4-chloroph​enyl)sulphonyl]-3-n-propy​lurea, and 1-methyl-1-[(4-chlorophen​yl)sulphonyl]-3-n-propylu​rea. Aldehyde dehydrogenase is a tetramer and has several different isoforms.
