ADH4 also known as alcohol dehydrogenase 4 is an enzyme with a mass of approximately 40 kDa. This enzyme plays a role in the oxidation of alcohols within the digestive system. Not just limited to the digestive system ADH4 also shows expression in the liver and kidneys where it contributes to the metabolic processes. Its action involves converting ethanol and other alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes which are then further metabolized.
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.

ADH4 has associations with alcohol-related liver disease and fetal alcohol syndrome. In liver disease ADH4's excessive ethanol oxidation can lead to toxic aldehyde accumulation contributing to tissue damage. Its interaction with aldehyde dehydrogenase becomes significant as any dysfunction in this relation might exacerbate disease severity. Moreover disruptions in retinoic acid metabolism where ADH4 plays a part can link to disorders affecting embryonic development highlighting its role in conditions like fetal alcohol syndrome.

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.
