What are the Applications of Aldehyde Dehydrogenase?
ALDH enzymes have broad applications in biotechnology and medicine. Their ability to detoxify aldehydes makes them valuable in the [bioremediation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioremediation) of environmental pollutants. ALDH activity is also a marker for stem cells, particularly in identifying cancer stem cells. In clinical settings, ALDH inhibitors are being explored as potential treatments for alcohol dependence and certain cancers.
