Protein Family Models

This family consists of several bacterial Acyl-CoA reductase (LuxC) proteins. The channelling of fatty acids into the fatty aldehyde substrate for the bacterial bioluminescence reaction is catalysed by a fatty acid reductase multienzyme complex, which channels fatty acids through the thioesterase (LuxD), synthetase (LuxE) and reductase (LuxC) components [1].

This family of dehydrogenases act on aldehyde substrates. Members use NADP as a cofactor. The family includes the following members: The prototypical members are the aldehyde dehydrogenases Swiss:P00352 EC:1.2.1.3. Succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase Swiss:P25526 EC:1.2.1.16. Lactaldehyde dehydrogenase Swiss:P25553 EC:1.2.1.22. Benzaldehyde dehydrogenase Swiss:P43503 EC:1.2.1.28. Methylmalonate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase Swiss:Q02252 EC:1.2.1.27. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase Swiss:P81406 EC:1.2.1.9. Delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase Swiss:P30038 EC: 1.5.1.12. Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase Swiss:P17547 EC:1.2.1.10. Glutamate-5-semialdehyde dehydrogenase Swiss:P07004 EC:1.2.1.41. This family also includes omega crystallin Swiss:P30842 an eye lens protein from squid and octopus that has little aldehyde dehydrogenase activity. [1]. 9195888.

aldehyde dehydrogenase family protein is an NAD(P)(+)-dependent enzyme that may oxidize a wide range of endogenous and exogenous aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes to their corresponding carboxylic acids and may play an important role in detoxification
