Entrez ID 8854
Gene name Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A2
Gene symbol ALDH1A2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
DIH4RALDH(II)RALDH2RALDH2-T
Chromosome 15
Chromosome location 15q21.3
Summary This protein belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family of proteins. The product of this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of retinoic acid (RA) from retinaldehyde. Retinoic acid, the active derivative of vitamin A (retinol), is a hormonal
