Enzyme review Made by Bushmelev Eugene

Common

• Name: Alcohol dehydrogenase 1B (ADH1B)• Code: EC 1.1.1.1• Organism: Homo Sapiens • Classification: Oxidoreductase • Structural weight: 39855 • Sequence status: complete

Annotation

• Members of this enzyme family metabolize a wide variety of substrates, including ethanol, retinol, other aliphatic alcohols, hydroxysteroids, and lipid peroxidation products. This encoded protein, consisting of several homo- and heterodimers of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits, exhibits high activity for ethanol oxidation and plays a major role in ethanol catabolism. Three genes encoding alpha, beta and gamma subunits are tandemly organized in a genomic segment as a gene cluster.

• Catalytic activity:

An alcohol + NAD+ = an aldehyde or ketone + NADH

Is it useful? Disease relevance of ADH1B

• The inactive ALDH2 encoded by ALDH2*1/*2 and the less-active encoded by ADH1B*1/*1increase the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

cantly dependingon the in both the ALDH2(1)/ALDH2(1) and ALDH2(1)/ALDH2(2)

• On the other hand, there were significant differences in the ADH2 and ALDH2 polymorphisms between healthy controls and esophageal cancer patients.

• Promoter activity of human ADH3, but not ADH1 or ADH2, was shown to be activated byretinoic acid in transient tranfection assays of Hep3B human hepatoma cells.

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ADH1B

• Genotoxic effects of alcohol in human peripheral lymphocytes modulated by ADH1B andALDH2 gene polymorphisms.

• Therefore, we determined the genotypes of the ADH2, ADH3, and ALDH2 loci of alcoholic and nonalcoholic Chinese men living in Taiwan, using leukocyte DNA amplified by the PCR and allele-specific oligonucleotides .

• ADH2 promoter DNA fragments containing various lengths of 5'-flanking sequences were fused upstream from the gene encoding chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (cat) and transfected into the HepG2 human hepatoma cell line.

• While fibroblasts cultured from a skin biopsy from one Japanese individual revealed a heterodimer (ADH2 2-1) of alcohol dehydrogenase, skin extract from another Japanese showed a homodimer (ADH2 2-2).

• The influences of estimated body water, recent drinking history, recent smoking history, polymorphism at the ADH2 and ADH3 loci, family history of alcoholism, and percentageNative American heritage on alcohol elimination rate were determined using multipleregression analyses .
