Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-ALDH1L1 antibody [4A12] - Astrocyte Marker (AB315197)

Immunofluorescent analysis of mixed cortical neuron-glial cell culture from an E20 rat stained with ab315197, dilution 1 : 1,000 in green, and costained with chicken pAb to vimentin, CPCA-Vim, dilution 1 : 5,000 in red. The blue is DAPI staining of nuclear DNA. ab315197 antibody produces strong cytoplasmic staining of astrocytic glial cells, while the CPCA-Vim antibody labels the intermediate filament cytoskeleton in fibroblasts and other glial cells. Some cells, presumably developing asrocytes, are stained by both ALDH1L1 and vimentin and so appear yellow.

ALDH1L1 also known as 10-formyltetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase plays an important role as a metabolic enzyme involved in folate metabolism. Typically ALDH1L1 has a molecular mass of around 100 kDa. You can find this protein expressed strongly in the liver and brain particularly in astrocytes where it serves as a marker for these star-shaped glial cells. The expression of ALDH1L1 indicates its significant presence in these tissues helping researchers identify and study astrocyte function more effectively.
Biological function summary

ALDH1L1 is involved in the one-carbon metabolism pathway contributing to the conversion of formyl groups into CO2. This reaction aids in regulating cellular homeostasis and energy production. Within the biological context ALDH1L1 works independently and does not form a large complex but efficiently interacts with other enzymes involved in folate transformations. Its activity ensures proper folate cycle functioning supporting DNA synthesis and repair.

Pathways

ALDH1L1 importantly integrates into the folate metabolism pathway supporting detoxification and nucleotide biosynthesis. In this pathway ALDH1L1 interacts with the MTHFD1 protein to maintain the balance of one-carbon units necessary for nucleic acid synthesis. Furthermore ALDH1L1 interplays within the methionine cycle influencing the methylation processes important for gene expression and epigenetic regulation.

ALDH1L1 has associations with neurological conditions particularly Alzheimer's disease and glioblastoma. Changes in ALDH1L1 expression levels have implication in the progression of these diseases. In the context of glioblastoma researchers observe altered ALDH1L1 expression alongside traditional astrocyte markers like GFAP in the tumor microenvironment. Understanding ALDH1L1's role in these conditions could provide insights for developing therapeutic strategies targeting astrocyte behavior.
