human ALAD shRNA silencing Adenovirus
This is an Adenovirus expressing shRNA for silencing of Human ALAD.
shADV-200712
Ad-h-ALAD-shRNA
Ready-to-use Adenovirus expressing shRNA for silencing of Human ALAD (aminolevulinate dehydratase). Available with optional GFP reporter or cell-specific promoter.
Gene Reference Data
Alternate Names
ALADH; PBGS
Description (Vector)
The ALAD enzyme is composed of 8 identical subunits and catalyzes the condensation of 2 molecules of delta-aminolevulinate to form porphobilinogen (a precursor of heme, cytochromes and other hemoproteins). ALAD catalyzes the second step in the porphyrin and heme biosynthetic pathway; zinc is essential for enzymatic activity. ALAD enzymatic activity is inhibited by lead and a defect in the ALAD structural gene can cause increased sensitivity to lead poisoning and acute hepatic porphyria.

About Storage Conditions
All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity.
We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
