ALDH1A1 Cancer Research Results

ALDH1A1, Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 1A1: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type: Protein-coding gene
(ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker, and its expression correlates with prognosis in a number of malignancies. Aldehyde dehydrogenases are the cancer stem cells which plays a role in CSC progression. ALDH comprise 19 subfamilies in which ALDH1A1, ALDH1A3, ALDH3A1, ALDH5A1, ALDH7A1, and ALDH18A1 are implicated in CSC. Existing chemotherapeutic drugs eliminate the bulk of tumors but are usually not effective against CSC which express ALDH+ population. Henceforth, targeting ALDH is convincing to treat the patient's post-relapse.
