乙醇脱氢酶5抗体

乙醇脱氢酶5抗体 Background: The alcohol dehydrogenase family of proteins metabolize a wide variety of substrates, including retinol, hydroxysteroids, ethanol, aliphatic alcohols and lipid peroxidation products. ADH5 (alcohol dehydrogenase 5 (class III)), also known as FDH (formaldehyde dehydrogenase), ADHX, ADH-3 or GSNOR, is a 374 amino acid cytoplasmic protein that belongs to the class III subfamily of alcohol dehydrogenases. Expressed ubiquitously, ADH5 uses iron as a cofactor to catalytically oxidize both long-chain primary alcohols and S-hydroxymethyl-glutathione, a product formed spontaneously between formaldehyde and glutathione. ADH5 exists as a homodimer and, via its ability to oxidize S-hydroxymethyl-glutathione and, thus, eliminate formaldehyde, functions as an important component of cellular metabolism. Genetic variations in the gene encoding ADH5 may affect drug and alcohol dependence in humans. Also known as: ADH 3; ADH5; ADHX; ADHX_HUMAN; Alcohol dehydrogenase (class III) chi polypeptide; alcohol dehydrogenase 5 (class III) chi polypeptide; Alcohol dehydrogenase 5; Alcohol dehydrogenase class 3; Alcohol dehydrogenase class chi chain; Alcohol dehydrogenase class III; Alcohol dehydrogenase class-3; Alcohol dehydrogenase class-III; class III alcohol dehydrogenase 5 chi subunit; FALDH; FDH; formaldehyde dehydrogenase; Glutathione dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase; Glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase; GSH-FDH; hydroxymethyllutathione dehydrogenase; S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase.乙醇脱氢酶5抗体
