catalytic activity:An aldehyde + NAD(P)(+) + H(2)O = an acid + NAD(P)H.,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. This protein preferentially oxidizes aromatic aldehyde substrates. It may play a role in the oxidation of toxic aldehydes.,similarity:Belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family.,subunit:Homodimer.,tissue specificity:High levels in stomach, esophagus and lung; low level in the liver and kidney.,
