Gene information for ALDH3B2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID222
Official gene symbolALDH3B2
Full namealdehyde dehydrogenase 3 family, member B2
Aliases,ALDH8,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the aldehyde dehydrogenase family, a group of isozymes that may play a major role in the detoxification of aldehydes generated by alcohol metabolism and lipid peroxidation. The gene of this particular family member is over 10 kb in length. The expression of these transcripts is restricted to the salivary gland among the human tissues examined. Alternate transcriptional splice variants have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq]
