Record overview

MGPD IDMGP000070
Gene ID130
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Namealcohol dehydrogenase 6 (class V)
Gene Symbol ADH6
SynonymsADH-5;
Alternate namesalcohol dehydrogenase 6; aldehyde reductase;
Chromosome4
Map Location4q23
EC Number1.1.1.1;
SummaryThis gene encodes class V alcohol dehydrogenase, which is a member of the alcohol dehydrogenase family. Members of this family metabolize a wide variety of substrates, including ethanol, retinol, other aliphatic alcohols, hydroxysteroids, and lipid peroxidation products. This gene is expressed in the stomach as well as in the liver, and it contains a glucocorticoid response element upstream of its 5' UTR, which is a steroid hormone receptor binding site. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
