catalytic activity:An aldehyde + NAD(+) + H(2)O = an acid + NADH.,function:ALDHs play a major role in the detoxification of alcohol-derived acetaldehyde. They are involved in the metabolism of corticosteroids, biogenic amines, neurotransmitters, and lipid peroxidation.,pathway:Alcohol metabolism; ethanol degradation; acetate from ethanol: step 2/2.,similarity:Belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family.,subunit:Homotetramer.,tissue specificity:Liver, testis and to a lesser extent in brain.,
Mitochondrion matrix.
