摘要：
Retinoic acid (RA), an important regulator of cell differentiation, is biosynthesized from retinol via retinal by a two-step oxidation process, We previously reported the purification and partial amino acid (aa) sequence of a rat kidney aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) isozyme that catalyzed the oxidation of 9-cis and all-trans retinal to corresponding RA with high efficiency [Labrecque et al. Biochem. J. 305 (1995) 681-684]. A rat kidney cDNA library was screened using a 291-bp PCR product generated from total kidney RNA using a pair of oligodeoxyribonucleotide primers matched with the aa sequence. The full-length rat kidney ALDH cDNA contains a 2315-bp (501 aa) open reading frame (ORF), The aa sequence of rat kidney ALDH is 89, 96 and 87% identical to that of the rat cytosolic ALDH, the mouse cytosolic ALDH and human cytosolic ALDH, respectively, Northern blot and RT-PCR-mediated analysis demonstrated that rat kidney ALDH is strongly expressed in kidney, lung, testis, intestine, stomach and trachea, but weakly in the liver.
