ALDH3B1 aldehyde dehydrogenase 3 family member B1 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 221)

Symbol: ALDH3B1

Full name: aldehyde dehydrogenase 3 family member B1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: ALDH4; ALDH7

Summary: This gene encodes a member of the aldehyde dehydrogenase protein family. Aldehyde dehydrogenases are a family of isozymes that may play a major role in the detoxification of aldehydes generated by alcohol metabolism and lipid peroxidation. The encoded protein is able to oxidize long-chain fatty aldehydes in vitro, and may play a role in protection from oxidative stress. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
