Mitochondrial ALDH2 Deficiency as an Oxidative Stress

2004-04-01

Abstract excerpt

A bstract : Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) plays a major role in ethanol metabolism. It is involved in acetaldehyde detoxification. A polymorphism of the ALDH2 gene is specific to North‐East Asians. Sensitivity to ethanol is highly associated with this polymorphism ( ALDH2*2 allele), which is responsible for a deficiency of ALDH2 activity. We first show that this deficiency influences the risk for...
