Gene: ALDH16A1

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily. The family members act on aldehyde substrates and use nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) as a cofactor. This gene is conserved in chimpanzee, dog, cow, mouse, rat, and zebrafish. The protein encoded by this gene interacts with maspardin, a protein that when truncated is responsible for Mast syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19q13.33

Description of this Gene: aldehyde dehydrogenase 16 family member A1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
