GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
ALDH3B2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
ALDH8
Description
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 3 family, member B2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the aldehyde dehydrogenase family, a group of isozymes that may play a major role in the detoxification of aldehydes generated by alcohol metabolism and lipid peroxidation. The gene of this particular family member is over 10 kb in length. The expression of these transcripts is restricted to the salivary gland among the human tissues examined. Alternate transcriptional splice variants have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
