About Aldh1a2

Summary

Enables 3-chloroallyl aldehyde dehydrogenase activity and retinal dehydrogenase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; embryonic morphogenesis; and retinoid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study DiGeorge syndrome. Orthologous to human ALDH1A2 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
