Aldh3a2 - aldehyde dehydrogenase family 3, subfamily A2

Enables aldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including hexadecanal metabolic process; nervous system development; and terpenoid metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within fatty acid metabolic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is integral component of membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; decidua; early conceptus; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Sjogren-Larsson syndrome. Orthologous to human ALDH3A2 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 3 family member A2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
