Entrez Gene ID

Antigen Description

This gene encodes a member of the alcohol dehydrogenase family. Members of this family metabolize a wide variety of substrates, including ethanol, retinol, other aliphatic alcohols, hydroxysteroids, and lipid peroxidation products. The encoded protein forms a homodimer. It has virtually no activity for ethanol oxidation, but exhibits high activity for oxidation of long-chain primary alcohols and for oxidation of S-hydroxymethyl-glutathione, a spontaneous adduct between formaldehyde and glutathione. This enzyme is an important component of cellular metabolism for the elimination of formaldehyde, a potent irritant and sensitizing agent that causes lacrymation, rhinitis, pharyngitis, and contact dermatitis. The human genome contains several non-transcribed pseudogenes related to this gene.

Function

S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase activity; alcohol dehydrogenase (NAD) activity; electron carrier activity; fatty acid binding; formaldehyde dehydrogenase activity; metal ion binding; nucleotide binding; oxidoreductase activity; protein homodime
