ALDHs play a major role in the detoxification of alcohol-derived acetaldehyde (Probable). They are involved in the metabolism of corticosteroids, biogenic amines, neurotransmitters, and lipid peroxidation (Probable). Oxidizes medium and long chain aldehydes into non-toxic fatty acids. Preferentially oxidizes aromatic aldehyde substrates. Comprises about 50 percent of corneal epithelial soluble proteins. May play a role in preventing corneal damage caused by ultraviolet light. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa2-453 from mouse Aldehyde dehydrogenase, dimeric NADP-preferring, fused to 10X His-Tag at N-terminal and Myc-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in E.coli.
