Alternative Names
Aldehyde dehydrogenase; dimeric NADP-preferring; ALDH3; ALDH3A1; Aldehyde dehydrogenase family 3 member A1; Aldehyde dehydrogenase 3; ALDHIII; ALDH3A1
Background
Aldehyde dehydrogenase, dimeric NADP-preferring is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ALDH3A1 gene, belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family. ALDHs play a major role in the detoxification of alcohol-derived acetaldehyde. They are involved in the metabolism of corticosteroids, biogenic amines, neurotransmitters, and lipid peroxidation. This protein preferentially oxidizes aromatic aldehyde substrates. It may play a role in the oxidation of toxic aldehydes.
