The nucleotide sequence predicts a polypeptide of 484 amino acids, and the most characteristic feature of this membrane-bound ALDH is carboxyl-terminal 35 amino acids, consisting of a stem region (amino acids 450-463) and a hydrophobic domain (amino acids 464-480) followed by a short hydrophilic tail region (amino acids 481-484) as shown in Fig. 1 . These data, together with those from subcellular fractionation, suggested that the carboxyl-terminal portion of msALDH including the hydrophobic sequence (amino acid 464-480) was necessary for both its ER localization and the tight association with the ER membrane. ./cache/cord-104282-90t1m430.txt ./txt/cord-104282-90t1m430.txt
