**Key characteristics:**
* The ALDH7A1P1 gene is located on chromosome 19p13.1.
* It is a pseudogene, meaning it is not a functional gene.
* It is expressed in a variety of cell types, including luminal cell of prostate epithelium, adventitial cell, lung ciliated cell, pancreatic ductal cell, lung goblet cell, ependymal cell, mesenchymal stem cell, retinal pigment epithelial cell, and malignant cell.
**Pathways and functions:**
* The ALDH7A1P1 gene is involved in the metabolism of aldehydes.
* Aldehydes are produced by various metabolic pathways, including the metabolism of dietary fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
* ALDH7A1P1 enzyme catalyzes the hydration of aldehydes to produce ketones.
* Ketones can be used by the body for energy or stored for later use.
**Clinical significance:**
* Genetic variants in the ALDH7A1P1 gene have been linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer.
* These variants can also be associated with an increased risk of other types of cancer, such as lung cancer, colon cancer, and liver cancer.
* Studies of ALDH7A1P1 gene variants have also been associated with changes in hormone levels and metabolism.
**Additional information:**
* The ALDH7A1P1 gene is a member of the ALDH7A1 family of genes, which are involved in the metabolism of aldehydes.
* The ALDH7A1 family of genes is expressed in a variety of cell types, including epithelial cells, immune cells, and cancer cells.
* The ALDH7A1P1 gene is involved in the metabolism of dietary aldehydes, such as those found in cheese, wine, and fatty fish.
