Aldehyde dehydrogenase is the second enzyme of the major oxidative pathway of alcohol metabolism. acetaldehyde acetic acid Chemical structure of the ALDH2 activator Alda-1. Isoforms Two major liver isoforms of this enzyme, cytosolic and mitochondrial, can be distinguished by their electrophoretic mobilities, kinetic properties, and subcellular localizations. This gene encodes a mitochondrial isoform, which has a low Km for acetaldehydes, and is localized in mitochondrial matrix.3 Clinical significance Most Caucasians have two major isozymes, while approximately 50% of Asians have only the cytosolic isozyme, missing the mitochondrial isozyme. A remarkably higher frequency of acute alcohol intoxication among Asians than among Caucasians could be related to the absence of the mitochondrial isozyme.3 An activator of ALDH2 enzymatic activity, Alda-1 N-1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethyl-2,6-dichlorobenzamide, has been shown to reduce ischemia-induced cardiac damage caused by myocardial infarction.4 See also Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase References ^ Yoshida A, Ikawa M, Hsu LC, Tani K 1985.
