Aldh3a1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables 3-chloroallyl aldehyde dehydrogenase activity and aldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including response to cAMP; response to glucocorticoid; and response to hypoxia. Located in cytoplasm and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; decidua; early conceptus; gonad; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arteriosclerosis. Orthologous to human ALDH3A1 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 3 family member A1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Aldh3a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
