◆ Functions:

● Oxidized intercellular aldehyde and involved in ethanol, vitamin A , and cyclo-

phosphamide metabolism.

● High levels in hematopoietic progenitor and stem cells ( HPC & HSC ).

● The higher ALDH activity HSC expressed, the better progenitor function and

repopulation activity worked.

◆ Detection:

● Fluorescent aldehyde substrate (Dansyl aminoacetaldehyde, Aldefluor ) by flow

cytometry.
