Supplementary information

ALDH1A2 also known as Retinaldehyde Dehydrogenase 2 (RALDH2) is an enzyme that plays an important role in the metabolic conversion of retinaldehyde to retinoic acid a bioactive form of vitamin A. It has a known mass of approximately 56 kDa. ALDH1A2 has high expression in multiple tissues including the liver pancreas and various types of epithelial cells. This enzyme is cytosolic actively contributing to local retinoid metabolism.
Biological function summary

ALDH1A2 is essential in embryonic development and tissue differentiation. It acts by regulating the levels of retinoic acid necessary for directing gene expression. ALDH1A2 activity is not known to be part of a complex but interacts with other retinoid-binding proteins to achieve its functions. It orchestrates cellular processes by modulating growth factors that are sensitive to retinoic acid.

Pathways

ALDH1A2 is a participant in the retinol metabolism pathway and the broader RA-signaling pathway. It ensures the generation of retinoic acid critical for gene regulation within these pathways. RALDH2's activity is closely related to other dehydrogenases and aldehyde oxidases that contribute to retinoid homeostasis. The interplay with these proteins emphasizes its role in ensuring a balanced retinoic acid supply.

ALDH1A2 has been implicated in conditions such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia and certain cancer types like breast cancer. Aberrant regulation or mutations in ALDH1A2 can lead to altered retinoic acid levels affecting cell proliferation and differentiation pathways. Networks involving ALDH1A2 with proteins like CYP26B1 responsible for retinoic acid catabolism highlight its involvement in these medical conditions.

General info

Function

Catalyzes the NAD-dependent oxidation of aldehyde substrates, such as all-trans-retinal and all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinal, to their corresponding carboxylic acids, all-trans-retinoate and all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinoate, respectively (PubMed : 29240402, PubMed : 33565183). Retinoate signaling is critical for the transcriptional control of many genes, for instance it is crucial for initiation of meiosis in both male and female (Probable) (PubMed : 33565183). Recognizes retinal as substrate, both in its free form and when bound to cellular retinol-binding protein (By similarity). Can metabolize octanal and decanal, but has only very low activity with benzaldehyde, acetaldehyde and propanal (By similarity). Displays complete lack of activity with citral (By similarity).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family.
