This protein ALDH1A2 belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family of proteins. The product of ALDH1A2 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of retinoic acid (RA) from retinaldehyde. Retinoic acid, the active derivative of vitamin A (retinol), is a hormonal signaling molecule that functions in developing and adult tissues. The studies of a similar mouse gene suggest that this enzyme and the cytochrome CYP26A1, concurrently establish local embryonic retinoic acid levels which facilitate posterior organ development and prevent spina bifida. Four transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for ALDH1A2.

ALDH1A2 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A2), commonly called retinal dehydrogenase 2 or RALDH2, is a retinaldehyde dehydrogenase that generates retinoic acid, a vitamin A-derived signalling molecule. Researchers study ALDH1A2 to examine spatial control of retinoid signalling, developmental patterning and tissue-specific retinoic acid metabolism.
Biological function: ALDH1A2 catalyses NAD-dependent oxidation of retinaldehyde to retinoic acid, providing a key biosynthetic step that controls local retinoic acid availability. Retinal dehydrogenase 2 therefore contributes to retinoid-dependent transcriptional programmes in developing and adult tissues.
