It resides mainly in the liver although other tissues exhibit expression as well. ALDH2 plays a critical role in metabolizing acetaldehyde a toxic byproduct of alcohol metabolism by converting it into acetate which is less harmful. This process protects cells from the damaging effects of acetaldehyde accumulation.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nALDH2 serves a detoxifying function by preventing oxidative stress and promoting cellular health. As part of the larger aldehyde dehydrogenase family this enzyme forms homotetramer complexes to efficiently catalyze the oxidation of aldehydes. ALDH2 supplementation may enhance its activity in individuals with reduced function due to genetic polymorphisms providing potential therapeutic benefits.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nALDH2 integrates into the alcohol metabolism and retinoic acid signaling pathways. In alcohol metabolism it collaborates with alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes such as ADH1 and ADH2 to process alcohol consumption compounds. In retinoic acid signaling ALDH2 helps regulate the biosynthesis of retinoic acid influencing cell proliferation and differentiation processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nALDH2 activity impacts conditions like alcohol flush reaction and cardiovascular diseases. Individuals with ALDH2 deficiency often due to genetic variations like ALDH2*2 experience decreased acetaldehyde clearance leading to flush reactions and an increased risk for certain cancers. Additionally inadequate ALDH2 function relates to elevated oxidative stress contributing to cardiovascular disease risk where proteins such as MSD161 may have interactions relevant for therapeutic targeting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855376208041,"sku":"ab110311","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab110311","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
