aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 family (mitochondrial)(ALDH2) Homo sapiens This protein belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family of proteins. Aldehyde dehydrogenase is the second enzyme of the major oxidative pathway of alcohol metabolism. Two major liver isoforms of aldehyde dehydrogenase, cytosolic and mitochondrial, can be distinguished by their electrophoretic mobilities, kinetic properties, and subcellular localizations. Most Caucasians have two major isozymes, while approximately 50% of Orientals have the cytosolic isozyme but not the mitochondrial isozyme. A remarkably higher frequency of acute alcohol intoxication among Orientals than among Caucasians could be related to the absence of a catalytically active form of the mitochondrial isozyme. The increased exposure to acetaldehyde in individuals with the catalytically inactive form may also confer greater susceptibility to many types of cancer. This gene encodes a mitochondrial isoform,

ALDH2 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 family member), also known as mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase, is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme that oxidises acetaldehyde and other aldehydes. Researchers use ALDH2 to study aldehyde metabolism, alcohol metabolism and mitochondrial responses to carbonyl stress.
Biological function: ALDH2 is the mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase isoform with low affinity constant for acetaldehyde and is localised to the mitochondrial matrix. It catalyses a major step in oxidative alcohol metabolism by converting acetaldehyde to acetate.
