11 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
The metabolism of acetaldehyde has received considerable attention in the past years owing to its acute and chronic toxic effects in humans. Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) catalyzes the oxidation of acetaldehyde in liver and other organs. Two major isozymes of hepatic ALDH (ALDH I or E2 and ALDH II or E1), which differ in their structural and functional properties, have been characterized in humans. The ALDH I...
