Functioncatalytic activity:An aldehyde + NAD(P)(+) + H(2)O = an acid + NAD(P)H.,function:ALDHs play a major role in the detoxification of alcohol-derived acetaldehyde. They are involved in the metabolism of corticosteroids, biogenic amines, neurotransmitters, and lipid peroxidation. This protein preferentially oxidizes aromatic aldehyde substrates. It may play a role in the oxidation of toxic aldehydes.,similarity:Belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family.,subunit:Homodimer.,tissue specificity:High levels in stomach, esophagus and lung; low level in the liver and kidney.,
Subcellular LocationCytoplasm .
ExpressionHigh levels in stomach, esophagus and lung; low level in the liver and kidney.
Backgroundaldehyde dehydrogenase 3 family member A1(ALDH3A1) Homo sapiens Aldehyde dehydrogenases oxidize various aldehydes to the corresponding acids. They are involved in the detoxification of alcohol-derived acetaldehyde and in the metabolism of corticosteroids, biogenic amines, neurotransmitters, and lipid peroxidation. The enzyme encoded by this gene forms a cytoplasmic homodimer that preferentially oxidizes aromatic and medium-chain (6 carbons or more) saturated and unsaturated aldehyde substrates. It is thought to promote resistance to UV and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal-induced oxidative damage in the cornea. The gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008],
