Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 1-A3/ALDH1A3: Proteins and Enzymes

Aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes are thought to play a major role in the detoxification of aldehydes generated by alcohol metabolism and lipid peroxidation. The enzyme encoded by this gene uses retinal as a substrate, either in a free or cellular retinol-binding protein form. [provided by RefSeq].
