Genetic evidence that retinaldehyde dehydrogenase Raldh1 (Aldh1a1) functions downstream of alcohol dehydrogenase Adh1 in metabolism of retinol to retinoic acid.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 19 Sept 2003

Molotkov Andrei, Duester Gregg

Abstract excerpt

Vitamin A (retinol) is a nutrient that is essential for developmental regulation but toxic in large amounts. Previous genetic studies have revealed that alcohol dehydrogenase Adh1 is required for efficient clearance of excess retinol to prevent toxicity, thus demonstrating that the mechanism involves oxidation of excess retinol to retinoic acid (RA). Whereas Adh1 plays a dominant role in the first step of the...
