    basic FUNCTION
  • alcohol dehydrogenase (class I), alpha polypeptide, zinc dependent, metabolizing a wide variety of substrates, including ethanol, retinol, other aliphatic alcohols, hydroxysteroids, and lipid peroxidation products
  • acting as retinol dehydrogenase/retinal reductase, also sites of active retinoid metabolism in the gut, essential for mucosa function and vitamin A absorption (Vaglenova 2003)
