Biological function summary
The enzyme participates in the oxidation of retinol to retinoic acid a process essential for diverse biological functions. While ADH4 operates primarily as a standalone enzyme it still interacts with other members of the alcohol dehydrogenase family within the liver. These interactions facilitate intermediary metabolism and help maintain homeostasis. The enzyme's role extends beyond simple alcohol metabolism implicating it in broader metabolic contexts.
Pathways
ADH4 occupies a definite position in the ethanol metabolism pathway. It cooperates with enzymes like aldehyde dehydrogenase to process ethanol into acetic acid a step important for energy production and detoxification. Additionally its activity relates to the retinoic acid signaling pathway. Through this pathway it interacts indirectly with enzymes that process retinoids connecting it to cellular differentiation and vision.

General info
Function
Catalyzes the NAD-dependent oxidation of either all-trans-retinol or 9-cis-retinol (PubMed : 17279314). 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 (PubMed : 16081420). Also catalyzes the reduction of benzoquinones (PubMed : 10514444).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family. Class-II subfamily.
