ADH4
geneOn this page
Also known as ADH-2
Summary
ADH4 (alcohol dehydrogenase 4 (class II), pi polypeptide, HGNC:252) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 4q23, encoding All-trans-retinol dehydrogenase [NAD(+)] ADH4 (P08319). Catalyzes the NAD-dependent oxidation of either all-trans-retinol or 9-cis-retinol.
This 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.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Catalyzes the NAD-dependent oxidation of either all-trans-retinol or 9-cis-retinol. Also oxidizes long chain omega-hydroxy fatty acids, such as 20-HETE, producing both the intermediate aldehyde, 20-oxoarachidonate and the end product, a dicarboxylic acid, (5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-eicosatetraenedioate. Also catalyzes the reduction of benzoquinones.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm.
Activity regulation. Oxydation of 20-HETE is inhibited by low concentrations of N-heptylformamide. Oxydation of 20-HETE is a decreased by 55-65% by either all-trans-retinol or all-trans-retinoic acid. Strongly inhibited by omega-hydroxy fatty acids.
Cofactor. Binds 2 Zn(2+) ions per subunit.
Miscellaneous. There are 7 different ADH’s isozymes in human: three belongs to class-I: alpha, beta, and gamma, one to class-II: pi, one to class-III: chi, one to class-IV: ADH7 and one to class-V: ADH6.
Similarity. Belongs to the zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family. Class-II subfamily.
