Abstract excerpt
Although the entire etiology of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is still unclear, alcohol drinking has been identified as a major environmental risk factor. The aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) superfamily members are major enzymes involved in the alcohol-metabolizing pathways. Accumulating evidences demonstrated that ALDH7A1, one of ALDH superfamily members, degrades and detoxifies acetaldehyde generated...
