Horse Liver Aldehyde Dehydrogenase
Horse liver aldehyde: NAD oxidoreductase (EC 1.2.1.3) has been purified to homogeneity by a procedure consisting of salt fractionation, ion exchange chromatography, and isoelectric focusing. The purif?ed material has a turnover number of 1.85 pmoles of NADH per min per mg of protein when assayed at pH 9.0 with propionaldehyde as substrate. Values obtained for the molecular weight of the native ...
متن کاملHuman Liver Aldehyde Dehydrogenase
Human liver aldehyde dehydrogenase has been found to be capable of hydrolyzing p-nitrophenyl esters. Esterase and dehydrogenase activities exhibited identical ion exchange and affinity properties, indicating that the same protein catalyzes both reactions. Competitive inhibition of esterase activity by glyceraldehyde and chloral hydrate furnished evidence that p-nitrophenyl acetate was hydrolyze...
متن کاملRat Liver Aldehyde Dehydrogenase
From normal rat liver mitochondrial and microsomal fractions, 4 distinct aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes with millimolar substrate K,,, values have been purified and characterized. Two isozymes were isolated from mitochondria and 2 from microsomes. A mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase with a substrate K,,, in the micromolar range was also identified. Subunit molecular weights for all millimol...
متن کاملEffects of aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 genetic polymorphisms on metabolism of structurally different aldehydes in human liver.
Genotype analysis of the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)-2 gene was performed using an improved simplified method, and effects of the genotype on the metabolism of a variety of aldehydes in different fractions of human liver cells were investigated. The effects of sex, aging, smoking, drinking alcohol, liver function, and various drugs on ALDH activity were also analyzed. Of the 39 subjects, eigh...
متن کاملAlcohol Consumption, Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 2 Gene Polymorphisms, and Cardiovascular Health in Korea
Alcohol consumption is a serious health issue in Korea in terms of the amount consumed and the behavior related to its consumption. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is a key enzyme in alcohol metabolism that degrades acetaldehyde to nontoxic acetic acid. The enzyme is coded by the ALDH2 gene, which is commonly polymorphic in East Asian populations. A point mutation in the ALDH2 gene (the rs671 ...
