Alcohol dehydrogenase: enzymology and metabolism.

Alcohol and alcoholism (Oxford, Oxfordshire). Supplement - 1 Jan 1994

Abstract excerpt

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), the principal enzyme responsible for ethanol oxidation, constitutes a complex family in humans. Based on structural and kinetic features, ADH can be divided into five classes. Low-Km class I beta-ADH and gamma-ADH show genetic polymorphism among racial populations. The allozymes exhibit distinct maximal activities due to single amino acid exchanges at different sites in the...
