Gene information for ALDH3A2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID224
Official gene symbolALDH3A2
Full namealdehyde dehydrogenase 3 family, member A2
Aliases,ALDH10,DKFZp686E23276,FALDH,FLJ20851,SLS,
Gene summaryAldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes are thought to play a major role in the detoxification of aldehydes generated by alcohol metabolism and lipid peroxidation. This gene product catalyzes the oxidation of long-chain aliphatic aldehydes to fatty acid. Mutations in the gene cause Sjogren-Larsson syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
