Aldh9a1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables 4-trimethylammoniobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase activity. Involved in carnitine biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within carnitine metabolic process. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cranium; male reproductive gland or organ; metanephros; and nervous system. Orthologous to human ALDH9A1 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 9 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 Aldh9a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
