Human aldehyde dehydrogenase genes: alternatively spliced transcriptional variants and their suggested nomenclature
21 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The human aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) gene superfamily consists of 19 genes encoding enzymes critical for NAD(P)-dependent oxidation of endogenous and exogenous aldehydes, including drugs and environmental toxicants. Mutations in ALDH genes are the molecular basis of several disease states (e.g. Sjögren-Larsson syndrome, pyridoxine-dependent seizures, and type II hyperprolinemia) and may contribute...
