WILD-TYPE HUMAN SIGMA (CLASS IV) ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASEWILD-TYPE HUMAN SIGMA (CLASS IV) ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE
Structural highlights
FunctionADH7_HUMAN Could function in retinol oxidation for the synthesis of retinoic acid, a hormone important for cellular differentiation. Medium-chain (octanol) and aromatic (m-nitrobenzaldehyde) compounds are the best substrates. Ethanol is not a good substrate but at the high ethanol concentrations reached in the digestive tract, it plays a role in the ethanol oxidation and contributes to the first pass ethanol metabolism.
