ADH6 - alcohol dehydrogenase 6 (class V) Gene
Also Known as ADH-5
Species: Homo sapiens
About ADH6
This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 375 orthologues and 17 paralogues. Biased expression in liver (RPKM 139.0), duodenum (RPKM 20.7) and 2 other tissues.
Summary
This 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]
