Aldehyde dehydrogenase in tobacco pollen [PDF]
Acetaldehyde is one of the intermediate products of ethanolic fermentation, which can be reduced to ethanol by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). Alternatively, acetaldehyde can be oxidized to acetate by aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and subsequently converted to acetyl-CoA by acetyl-CoA synthetase (ACS).

Aldehyde dehydrogenases and cell proliferation [PDF]
Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) oxidize aldehydes to the corresponding carboxylic acids using either NAD or NADP as a coenzyme. Aldehydes are highly reactive aliphatic or aromatic molecules that play an important role in numerous physiological, pathological, and pharmacological processes.

Alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase in malignant neoplasms [PDF]
According to International Agency for Research on Cancer, ethanol and acetaldehyde belong to group 1 of human carcinogens. The accurate mechanism by which alcohol consumption enhances carcinogenesis is still unexplained. Alcohol is oxidized primarily by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) to acetaldehyde, a substance capable of initiating carcinogenesis by ...

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 and arrhythmogenesis
Cardiac arrhythmia is a common cardiovascular disease that leads to considerable economic burdens and significant global public health challenges. Despite the remarkable progress made in recent decades, antiarrhythmic therapy remains suboptimal. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), a critical detoxifying enzyme, catalyzes toxic aldehydes and protects ...

Soluble aldehyde dehydrogenase and metabolism of aldehydes by soybean bacteroids [PDF]
A soluble aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.3) was partially purified from Rhizobium japonicum bacteroids and from free-living R. japonicum 61A76. The enzyme was activated by NAD+, NADH, and dithiothreitol, and it reduced NAD(P)+. Acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, benzaldehyde, and succinic semialdehyde were substrates.

Regional localization of the human genes for aldehyde dehydrogenase-1 and aldehyde dehydrogenase-2
We have used the cDNA probes for human aldehyde dehydrogenase-1 (ALDH1) and aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) to determine regional chromosomal locations of these two genes by in situ hybridization. Results presented here allow localization of ALDH1 to band q21 on chromosome 9 and ALDH2 to band q24 on chromosome 12.

SAXS fingerprints of aldehyde dehydrogenase oligomers
Enzymes of the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) superfamily catalyze the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids. ALDHs are important in detoxification of aldehydes, amino acid metabolism, embryogenesis and development, neurotransmission, oxidative stress, and cancer.

ALCOHOL AND ALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE* [PDF]
The 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 ...
