ALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE 1 FAMILY, MEMBER B1; ALDH1B1


Alternative titles; symbols

ALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE 5; ALDH5
ACETALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE 5


HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: ALDH1B1

Cytogenetic location: 9p13.1     Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 9:38,392,702-38,398,661 (from NCBI)


TEXT

Cloning and Expression

The 2 aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes that play a major role in ethanol detoxification, ALDH1 (100640) and ALDH2 (100650), are cytosolic and mitochondrial forms, respectively. Their organization is basically similar; their sizes are 53 kb and 44 kb, respectively, and both contain 13 coding exons interrupted by introns of comparable lengths. Hsu et al. (1989) cloned a novel ALDH gene, ALDH5, from a cosmid human DNA library. Although it contains no introns, Northern blot hybridization of human liver RNA revealed a unique mRNA component that hybridized with this gene probe but with neither the ALDH1 probe or the ALDH2 probe. ALDH5 encodes a deduced 517-amino acid protein that shares 70.6% and 62.8% sequence identity with the ALDH2 and ALDH1 proteins, respectively.

Hsu and Chang (1991) provided a full report on the ALDH5 gene, which they referred to as ALDHx.


Mapping

Hsu et al. (1989) assigned the ALDH5 gene to chromosome 9 by Southern blot analysis of rodent-human hybrid cell DNAs. By in situ hybridization, Hiraoka et al. (1995) mapped the ALDH5 gene to 9p13.
