A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of ADH5 antibody, Alternative Names: ADH5 control peptide, ADH5 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-ADH5 Blocking Peptide, Alcohol Dehydrogenase 5 Blocking Peptide, ADH-3 Blocking Peptide, ADHX Blocking Peptide, FDH Blocking Peptide, Alcohol Dehydrogenase Class III chi polypeptide Blocking Peptide
This gene encodes a member of the alcohol dehydrogenase family. Members of this family metabolize a wide variety of substrates, including ethanol, retinol, other aliphatic alcohols, hydroxysteroids, and lipid peroxidation products. The encoded protein forms a homodimer. It has virtually no activity for ethanol oxidation, but exhibits high activity for oxidation of long-chain primary alcohols and for oxidation of S-hydroxymethyl-glutathione, a spontaneous adduct between formaldehyde and glutathione. This enzyme is an important component of cellular metabolism for the elimination of formaldehyde, a potent irritant and sensitizing agent that causes lacrymation, rhinitis, pharyngitis, and contact dermatitis. The human genome contains several non-transcribed pseudogenes related to this gene.
