Summary: Enables NADH binding activity; aldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including behavioral response to ethanol; cellular response to resveratrol; and response to ischemia. Located in mitochondrial matrix. Biomarker of heart disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol dependence; alcohol use disorder; artery disease (multiple); diabetes mellitus (multiple); and liver disease (multiple). Orthologous to human ALDH2 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 family member). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

animals jointly receiving nitroglycerin (GTN) and disulfiram (DSF) developed tolerance to GTN, and in animals that in addition to GTN and DSF also received lipoic acid (LA) such tolerance did not develop, is - in our opinion - a sufficient premise to conclude that the nitrate tolerance certainly is not caused by a decrease in the activity of any of the ALDH isoenzymes present in the rat liver, including ALDH2.

Mitochondrial ALDH2 inhibits the proliferation of neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts induced by high glucose, and the effect is possibly mediated by the up-regulation of autophagy-related proteins Beclin-1 and LC3B.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
