LMPD IDLMP002786
Gene ID131
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Namealcohol dehydrogenase 7 (class IV), mu or sigma polypeptide
Gene SymbolADH7
SynonymsADH4
Alternate namesalcohol dehydrogenase class 4 mu/sigma chain; retinol dehydrogenase; alcohol dehydrogenase-7; alcohol dehydrogenase VII; gastric alcohol dehydrogenase; class IV sigma-1 alcohol dehydrogenase; class IV sigmasigma alcohol dehydrogenase; alcohol dehydrogenase class IV mu/sigma chain

EC Number1.1.1.1
SummaryThis gene encodes class IV alcohol dehydrogenase 7 mu or sigma subunit, which is a member of the alcohol dehydrogenase family. Members of this family metabolize a wide variety of substrates, including ethanol, retinol, other aliphatic alcohols, hydroxysteroids, and lipid peroxidation products. The enzyme encoded by this gene is inefficient in ethanol oxidation, but is the most active as a retinol dehydrogenase; thus it may participate in the synthesis of retinoic acid, a hormone important for cellular differentiation. The expression of this gene is much more abundant in stomach than liver, thus differing from the other known gene family members. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
