Human corneal aldehyde dehydrogenase: purification, kinetic characterisation and phenotypic variation.

Abstract excerpt

Human corneal aldehyde dehydrogenase (designated ALDH3) was purified to homogeneity and characterised with respect to substrate specificity and inhibition by thiol reagents. The enzyme was present as a major soluble protein (5% of the total soluble protein) and was found to efficiently catalyse the oxidation of medium chain peroxidic aldehydes which may be found in the cornea. These findings are consistent with...
