Alcohol and polyol dehydrogenases
Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 1983"Long" and "short" alcohol dehydrogenases with different structures and catalytic mechanisms exist and the same sub-grouping appears to apply to polyol dehydrogenases. Mammalian liver sorbitol dehydrogenase is clearly related to "long" alcohol dehydrogenases and has structural properties intermediate between those of mammalian and yeast alcohol ...

ALCOHOL AND ALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE*
Alcohol and Alcoholism, 1990The enzymes mainly responsible for ethanol degradation in humans are liver alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDH). Polymorphisms occur in both enzymes, with marked differences in the steady-state kinetic constants. The Km-values for ethanol of ADH isoenzymes relevant for alcohol degradation range from 49 microM to 36 microM ...

Acetylcarnitine Inhibits Alcohol Dehydrogenase
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1994Carnitine and acetylcarnitine are used as dietary supplements and as therapeutic agents. Carnitine attenuates ethanol metabolism in intact animals but the in vitro activities of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), microsomal ethanol oxidizing system (MEOS) or catalase are not significantly altered by carnitine.

Yeast alcohol dehydrogenase II
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1957Abstract Many lines of evidence support the existence of a new alcohol dehydrogenase in yeast. The new enzyme showed a broad spectrum of activity with various alcohols, ethanol having the highest activity. Its properties in many respects appear to be different from the classical alcohol dehydrogenase, and the new enzyme is more able to oxidize the ...

The Alcohol Dehydrogenase System
1995Alcohol dehydrogenases of different types are common enzymes in nature. Two of these families, the medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family, MDR, and the shortchain dehydrogenase/reductase family, SDR, are well studied and known since long, but have experienced a recent “explosion” of new knowledge, extension and importance.

Alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenase polymorphisms and alcoholism
Behavior Genetics, 1993The alcohol-flush reaction occurs in Asians who inherit the mutant ALDH2*2 allele that produces an inactive aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme. In these individuals, high blood acetaldehyde levels are believed to be the cause of the unpleasant symptoms that follow drinking.

Helicobacter pylori alcohol dehydrogenase
1994We have recently shown that 34 different Helicobacter pylori strains of human and three of animal origin contain alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). Isoelectric focusing of the enzyme showed activity bands with pI at 7.1-7.3, a pattern different from that of gastric mucosal ADHs. The Km value of H.

Alcohol Dehydrogenase in Cultured Human Skin Fibroblasts Human Fibroblast Alcohol Dehydrogenase
1980Studies of ethanol oxidation and other metabolic pathways in humans are often limited by the availability of a reproducible test material. Because of this we have tested human fibroblasts for ethanol metabolism and alcohol dehydrogenase content. Seven different cell lines have been studied and found to contain an enzymatic activity identified as ...
