Abstract excerpt
The ADH gene family in vertebrates is composed of at least seven distinct classes based upon sequence comparisons and enzyme properties. The Adh4 gene product may play an important role in differentiation and development because of its capacity to metabolize retinol to retinoic acid. Allelic gene differences exist among inbred mouse strains which control structure and tissue-specific regulation of Adh4. C57BL/6...
