SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Namealcohol dehydrogenase 4 (class II), pi polypeptide
Gene SymbolADH4
SynonymsADH-2; HEL-S-4
Alternate namesalcohol dehydrogenase 4; aldehyde reductase; epididymis secretory protein Li 4; alcohol dehydrogenase class II pi chain
Chromosome4

EC Number1.1.1.1
SummaryThis gene encodes class II alcohol dehydrogenase 4 pi subunit, which is a member of the alcohol dehydrogenase family. Members of this enzyme family metabolize a wide variety of substrates, including ethanol, retinol, other aliphatic alcohols, hydroxysteroids, and lipid peroxidation products. Class II alcohol dehydrogenase is a homodimer composed of 2 pi subunits. It exhibits a high activity for oxidation of long-chain aliphatic alcohols and aromatic alcohols and is less sensitive to pyrazole. This gene is localized to chromosome 4 in the cluster of alcohol dehydrogenase genes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
