Polymorphism of the human alcohol dehydrogenase 4 (ADH4) promoter affects gene expression
1 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
The human alcohol dehydrogenase 4 gene (ADH4) encodes the human pi-alcohol dehydrogenase (pi-ADH), which can contribute to ethanol metabolism at moderate and high concentrations of ethanol. There are no known structural variants of pi-ADH in humans. We report the first polymorphisms in the ADH4 gene, at three sites in the promoter: -192 bp, -159 bp and -75 bp, respectively. To determine whether these variations...
