ALDH, Aldehyde Dehydrogenase: Click to Expand ⟱

Source:

Type:

ALDH (Aldehyde Dehydrogenase) is a family of enzymes that play a crucial role in various cellular processes, including detoxification, differentiation, and cell survival. In the context of cancer, ALDH has been implicated in several aspects of tumor biology.

ALDH enzymes are involved in the metabolism of aldehydes, which are toxic compounds that can damage cellular components. In cancer cells, ALDH enzymes can help to detoxify these compounds, promoting cell survival and resistance to chemotherapy.

There are 19 different ALDH isoforms, and each has a distinct expression pattern in cancer. Some isoforms, such as ALDH1A1 and ALDH1A3, are more commonly associated with cancer stem cells, while others, such as ALDH2, are more widely expressed in cancer cells.

Highly Expressed: Brain, overian, prostate, pancreatic, liver, stomach, esophageal, head and neck, melanoma, ALL, CML
