ALDH3A2 aldehyde dehydrogenase 3 family member A2

Gene ID: 224, updated on 4-Jan-2025
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SLS; FALDH; ALDH10

Summary

Aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes are thought to play a major role in the detoxification of aldehydes generated by alcohol metabolism and lipid peroxidation. This gene product catalyzes the oxidation of long-chain aliphatic aldehydes to fatty acid. Mutations in the gene cause Sjogren-Larsson syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
