Aldehyde dehydrogenase family 3 member B1 (ALDH3B1)

The protein contains 468 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 51840 Da.

 

Oxidizes medium and long chain saturated and unsaturated aldehydes (PubMed:17382292, PubMed:23721920). Metabolizes also benzaldehyde (PubMed:17382292). Low activity towards acetaldehyde and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (PubMed:17382292, PubMed:23721920). May not metabolize short chain aldehydes. Can use both NADP(+) and NAD(+) as electron acceptor (PubMed:17382292). May have a protective role against the cytotoxicity induced by lipid peroxidation (PubMed:17382292). (updated: July 3, 2019)

CLONING

The aldehyde dehydrogenases are a family of isozymes that may play a major role in the detoxification of aldehydes generated by alcohol metabolism and lipid peroxidation. Hsu et al. (1994) reported the cloning and sequencing of a cDNA encoding a new human ALDH, designated ALDH7. Degenerate oligodeoxyribonucleotides derived from conserved regions of known ALDH cDNAs amplified a 408-bp product from human kidney total RNA by the reverse transcription-PCR procedure. This PCR product was subcloned, selected, and used as a probe to screen a human kidney cDNA library. The full-length human kidney cDNA of ALDH7 is 2,791 bp long and contains an open reading frame encoding 468 amino acids. The deduced sequence of ALDH7 was longer than that of human stomach ALDH3 (100660) by 15 amino acids at the C terminus. The degree of identity between the 2 isozymes was 52% with a positional alignment of 453 amino acids. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that lung is another major tissue expressing ALDH7.

GENE STRUCTURE

Hsu et al. (1997) determined the structure of the ALDH7 and ALDH8 (601917) genes. The ALDH7 gene spans about 20 kb of genomic DNA and is composed of 9 coding exons. The ALDH8 gene is over 10 kb in length and consists of at least 10 exons. The ALDH8 gene contains an in-frame stop codon at the seventeenth codon position from the first initiator Met. The coding region of the ALDH7 gene shows about 86% nucleotide identity with the corresponding region of the ALDH8 gene. The numbers and positions of the introns of the 2 genes are conserved, suggesting that gene duplication is involved in the expansion of the ALDH gene family. The human ALDH7 and ALDH8 genes have a close evolutionary relationship with human ALDH3.

MAPPING

The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the ALDH7 gene to chromosome 11 (TMAP RH69713). ... More on the omim web site
