ALDH6A1
geneOn this page
Summary
ALDH6A1 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 6 family member A1, HGNC:7179) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q24.3, encoding Methylmalonate-semialdehyde/malonate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase [acylating], mitochondrial (Q02252). Malonate and methylmalonate semialdehyde dehydrogenase involved in the catabolism of valine, thymine, and compounds catabolized by way of beta-alanine, including uracil and cytidine.
This gene encodes a member of the aldehyde dehydrogenase protein family. The encoded protein is a mitochondrial methylmalonate semialdehyde dehydrogenase that plays a role in the valine and pyrimidine catabolic pathways. This protein catalyzes the irreversible oxidative decarboxylation of malonate and methylmalonate semialdehydes to acetyl- and propionyl-CoA. Methylmalonate semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency is characterized by elevated beta-alanine, 3-hydroxypropionic acid, and both isomers of 3-amino and 3-hydroxyisobutyric acids in urine organic acids. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
