FAMILY

aldehyde dehydrogenase, class III (fatty alcohol oxidoreductase) family

CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm

basic FUNCTION	catalyzing fatty and aromatic aldehydes
	playing a potential physiological role against oxidative stress (may play a role in the detoxification of aldehydes produced during oxidative stress)
	in the cornea, protects ocular structures against UV-induced damage through the metabolism of lipid peroxidation-derived aldehydes, the absorption of UV-light and the scavenging of reactive oxygen species
