| ncRNA Symbol: | ADH4 | | Full Name: | alcohol dehydrogenase 4 (class II), pi polypeptide | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | ADH-2|HEL-S-4 | | Chromosome: | chr4 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 99123657 | End Site(bp): | 99157792 | | | Gene Summary: | This gene encodes class II alcohol dehydrogenase 4 pi subunit, which is a member of the alcohol dehydrogenase family. Members of this enzyme family metabolize a wide variety of substrates, including ethanol, retinol, other aliphatic alcohols, hydroxysteroids, and lipid peroxidation products. Class II alcohol dehydrogenase is a homodimer composed of 2 pi subunits. It exhibits a high activity for oxidation of long-chain aliphatic alcohols and aromatic alcohols and is less sensitive to pyrazole. This gene is localized to chromosome 4 in the cluster of alcohol dehydrogenase genes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] | | External Links: | |
