Summary: Enables 3-chloroallyl aldehyde dehydrogenase activity and retinal dehydrogenase activity. Involved in cellular response to retinoic acid. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; nervous system development; and retinoid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study DiGeorge syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Orthologous to human ALDH1A2 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A2).

data do not support the hypothesis that retinal itself represses weight gain and adipogenesis independently of RA. Instead, the data indicate that Raldh1 functions as a retinal and atRA-independent promoter of adiposity during adolescence, and enhances adiposity through pre-adipocyte cell autonomous actions

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
