Catalog Number:

NBP1-45335

This antibody was used in a study that investigated the role of acetaldehyde in alcohol induced lipodystrophy in rats. It has been published in Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research 2015 (Zhang et al., Visceral white adipose tissue is susceptible to alcohol-induced lipodystrophy in rats: role of acetaldehyde, 2015, 39: 416-423). Several alcohol dehydrogenase antibodies were tested in this study for various applications; NBP1-45335 gave best results in the Western blot using liver homogenates.
