Aldose and Aldehyde Reductase Exhibit Isocorticosteroid Reductase Activity [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1983 In this paper we describe the reduction of corticosteroid metabolites containing the 17 beta-aldol side chain (isocorticosteroids) by aldose and aldehyde reductase from human tissues. Aldose reductase catalyzed the reduction of the aldehydes derived from cortisol and corticosterone at about the same rate, whereas aldehyde reductase preferentially acted

Oxidative stress and the enzyme system of aldehyde catabolism in the muscle mitochondria of immobilized pubertal rats [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2014 The aim of the work is to find out peculiarities in manifestation of oxidative stress and to determine activity of enzymes, responsible for utilization of endogenous aldehydes in the mitochondrial fraction of the skeletal (femoral) muscle in pubertal ...

Relative expression of genes of terpene metabolism in different tissues of
BMC Plant Biology, 2011 Background Recently, Artemisia annua L. (annual or sweet wormwood) has received increasing attention due to the fact that the plant produces the sesquiterpenoid endoperoxide artemisinin, which today is widely used for treatment of malaria.

Fatty aldehydes in cyanobacteria are a metabolically flexible precursor for a diversity of biofuel products. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We describe how pathway engineering can be used to convert a single intermediate derived from lipid biosynthesis, fatty aldehydes, into a variety of biofuel precursors including alkanes, free fatty acids and wax esters.

Functional characterization of SlscADH1, a fruit-ripening associated short-chain alcohol dehydrogenase of tomato [PDF]
, 2012 A tomato short-chain dehydrogenase-reductase (SlscADH1) is preferentially expressed in fruit with a maximum expression at the breaker stage while expression in roots, stems, leaves and flowers is very weak.

Exploring the Terminal Pathway of Sex Pheromone Biosynthesis and Metabolism in the Silkworm
Insects, 2021 Sex pheromones are vital to sexual communication and reproduction in insects. Although some key enzymes in pheromone production have been well studied, information on genes involved in the terminal pathway is limited.
