Genetics of alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase from Monodelphis domestica cornea: further evidence for identity of corneal aldehyde dehydrogenase with a major soluble protein.

Abstract excerpt

A didelphid marsupial, the gray short-tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica), was used as a model species to study the biochemical genetics of alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) in corneal tissue. Isoelectric point variants of corneal ALDH (designated ALDH3) and a major soluble protein in corneal extracts were observed among eight families of animals used in studying the genetics of...
