Gene

Aldh2

Species
Rattus norvegicus
Symbol
Aldh2
Name
aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 family member
Synonyms
  • aldehyde dehydrogenase 2
  • aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 family (mitochondrial)
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables NADH binding activity; aldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including behavioral response to ethanol; cellular response to resveratrol; and response to ischemia. Located in mitochondrial matrix. Used to study metabolic dysfunction and alcohol associated liver disease. Biomarker of heart disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol dependence; alcohol use disorder; artery disease (multiple); diabetes mellitus (multiple); and liver disease (multiple). Orthologous to human ALDH2 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 family member).
