Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The alcohol metabolite acetaldehyde is a potent human carcinogen. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is the primary enzyme that detoxifies acetaldehyde in the mitochondria. Acetaldehyde accumulates and causes genotoxic stress in cells expressing the dysfunctional ALDH2 E487K mutant protein linked to ALDH2*2 , the single nucleotide polymorphism highly prevalent amongst East Asians. Chronic alcoho...
