ALDH1A1 is an aldehyde dehydrogenase able to oxidize a wide variety of aliphatic aldehydes (retinaldehyde, acetaldehyde, etc.) to the corresponding carboxylic acids (retinoic acid, acetic acid, etc.). ALDH1A1 (also known as RALDH1, ALDH1, or AHD2) is highly expressed in the dorsal retina, ventral midbrain (dopaminergic neurons), and hematopoietic stem cells. ALDH1A1 is involved in retinoic acid (RA) synthesis during vertebrate embryogenesis. ALDH1A1 is first detected at E9.0-E10.5 in cranial tissues (ventral mesencephalon, dorsal retina, thymic primordia, optic vesicles) and in the mesonephros. ALDH1A1 is also of interest in Parkinson's Disease (PD) being expressed in the the A9 dopaminergic (DA) neuronal group projecting to the dorsal striatum; this is the most vulnerable site in PD (Chung et al, 2005). ALDH1A1 protein is a known mesencephalic dopaminergic marker. ALDH1A1 is a cytosolic enzyme that preferentially oxidizes retinaldehyde to retinoic acid .ALDH1A1 is expressed in the epithelium of many organs, including brain, liver, testis, eye lens and cornea .ALDH1A1 is highly expressed in brain dopaminergic neurons, where it produces the retinoic acid required for their differentiation and development .The retinoic acid produced by ALDH1A1 is also important for the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells.

ALDH1A1 encodes aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1, the reviewed human protein aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1. This cytosolic NAD-dependent enzyme oxidizes a broad range of aldehydes and also converts retinaldehyde to retinoic acid, linking aldehyde metabolism with vitamin A/retinoid biology.
Biological function: ALDH1A1 catalyses the irreversible oxidation of aldehydes to their corresponding carboxylic acids. Reviewed UniProt supports a role downstream of retinol dehydrogenases in converting retinaldehyde to retinoic acid, the second oxidation step from retinol/vitamin A to retinoic acid.
