Targeting aldehyde dehydrogenase for prostate cancer therapies
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer in men in the United States. About 10 – 20% of PCa progress to castration-resistant PCa (CRPC), which is accompanied by metastasis and therapeutic resistance.

ALDH3B1 Is an Independent Prognostic Biomarker of Lung Adenocarcinoma
Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death, and adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer. Although emerging evidence implicates the role of several aldehyde dehydrogenases in cancer progression, the expression and ...

Development of a New Screen-Printed Transducer for the Electrochemical Detection of Thiram
A new transducer based on a screen-printed carbon electrode has been developed for the quantification of thiram. Detection of this fungicide is based on the performance of two enzymes: (1) aldehyde dehydrogenase catalyzes the aldehyde oxidation using NAD+

The novel Isatin analog KS99 targets stemness markers in acute myeloid leukemia
Leukemic stem cells are multipotent, self-renewing, highly proliferative cells that can withstand drug treatments. Although currently available treatments potentially destroy blast cells, they fail to eradicate leukemic progenitor cells completely ...

Monitoring of fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase by formation of pyrenedecanoic acid from pyrenedecanal
Fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.48) converts long-chain fatty aldehydes to the corresponding acids. Deficiency in this enzyme causes the Sjogren Larsson Syndrome, a rare inherited disorder characterized by ichthyosis, spasticity, and mental ...

Characterization of the human omega-oxidation pathway for omega-hydroxy-very-long-chain fatty acids [PDF]
Very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) have long been known to be degraded exclusively in peroxisomes via beta-oxidation. A defect in peroxisomal beta-oxidation results in elevated levels of VLCFAs and is associated with the most frequent inherited ...

Insights into Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Enzymes: A Structural Perspective
Aldehyde dehydrogenases engage in many cellular functions, however their dysfunction resulting in accumulation of their substrates can be cytotoxic. ALDHs are responsible for the NAD(P)-dependent oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids, participating ...
