Other Information

**Key Characteristics** 1. **Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Activity**: ALDH1A1 is a member of the aldehyde dehydrogenase family, which catalyzes the oxidation of aldehydes to their corresponding carboxylic acids. This enzyme is essential for the detoxification of aldehydes, which are reactive molecules that can cause cellular damage if not properly metabolized. 2. **Retinoid Metabolism**: ALDH1A1 is involved in the metabolism of retinoids, including retinaldehyde and retinoic acid. These compounds are essential for vision, development, and cell growth, and their metabolism is tightly regulated by ALDH1A1. 3. **Cellular Localization**: ALDH1A1 is primarily expressed in cells of the anterior lens, retina, thyroid gland, and tracheobronchial tree. It is also found in other cells, including hepatoblasts and secretory cells. 4. **Signaling Pathways**: ALDH1A1 is involved in various signaling pathways, including the regulation of androgen binding, axon development, and the maintenance of lens transparency. **Pathways and Functions** 1. **3-Deoxyglucosone Dehydrogenase Activity**: ALDH1A1 catalyzes the oxidation of 3-deoxyglucosone, a toxic compound that can cause cellular damage. 2. **Aldehyde Dehydrogenase (NAD+) Activity**: ALDH1A1 oxidizes aldehydes to their corresponding carboxylic acids, using NAD+ as a cofactor. 3. **Aminobutyraldehyde Dehydrogenase Activity**: ALDH1A1 also catalyzes the oxidation of aminobutyraldehyde, a toxic compound that can cause cellular damage. 4. **Retinoid Metabolic Process**: ALDH1A1 is involved in the metabolism of retinoids, including retinaldehyde and retinoic acid. 5. **Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (NAD+) (Non-Phosphorylating) Activity**: ALDH1A1 also catalyzes the oxidation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, a key intermediate in glycolysis. **Clinical Significance** 1. **Aldehyde Poisoning**: ALDH1A1 deficiency has been implicated in aldehyde poisoning, a condition characterized by the accumulation of toxic aldehydes in the body. 2. **Retinoid-Related Disorders**: ALDH1A1 is involved in the metabolism of retinoids, and its dysfunction has been implicated in retinoid-related disorders, including retinal degeneration and cancer. 3. **Thyroid Cancer**: ALDH1A1 has been identified as a potential biomarker for thyroid cancer, as it is highly expressed in thyroid cancer cells. 4. **Neurological Disorders**: ALDH1A1 has also been implicated in neurological disorders, including Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, where it is involved in the metabolism of neuroactive compounds. In conclusion, the ALDH1A1 gene plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including metabolism, detoxification, and signaling pathways. Its dysfunction has been implicated in various diseases, including aldehyde poisoning, retinoid-related disorders, thyroid cancer, and neurological disorders. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of ALDH1A1 in human health and disease.
