Entrez ID 64577
Gene name Aldehyde dehydrogenase 8 family member A1
Gene symbol ALDH8A1
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ALDH12DJ352A20.2
Chromosome 6
Chromosome location 6q23.3
Summary This gene encodes a member of the aldehyde dehydrogenase family of proteins. The encoded protein has been implicated in the synthesis of 9-cis-retinoic acid and in the breakdown of the amino acid tryptophan. This enzyme converts 9-cis-retinal into the ret
