Application

Alcohol dehydrogenase breaks down potentially toxic alcohols and is involved in the biosynthesis of various metabolites. Alcohol dehydrogenase is used to study its role in alcoholism and cancer . Alcohol dehydrogenase, from horse liver, has been used to prepare proteins in order to study the specificity of retinol dehydrogenases .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Alcohol dehydrogenase facilitates the interconversion between alcohols and aldehydes or ketones. In yeast and bacteria, alcohol dehydrogenase is involved in fermentation. Genetic mutations in the alcohol dehydrogenase gene cluster many increase the risk of developing gastric cancer .

Other Notes

1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which oxidizes 1 μmol ethanol per minute at pH 8.8 and 25 °C

Retinoids are chromophores involved in vision, transcriptional regulation, and cellular differentiation. Members of the short chain alcohol dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily catalyze the transformation of retinol to retinal. Here, we describe the identification and properties of three enzymes from a novel subfamily

Studies that have examined the association between alcohol consumption and gastric cancer (GC) risk have been inconsistent. We conducted an investigation of 29 genetic variants in alcohol metabolism loci (alcohol dehydrogenase, ADH1 gene cluster: ADH1A, ADH1B and ADH1C; ADH7 and

In yeast, Adh1 (alcohol dehydrogenase 1) is an abundant zinc-binding protein that is required for the conversion of acetaldehyde to ethanol. Through transcriptome profiling of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome, we identified a natural antisense transcript at the adh1 locus that
