Aldh5a1 - aldhehyde dehydrogenase family 5, subfamily A1

Predicted to enable several functions, including NAD binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity. Acts upstream of or within carboxylic acid metabolic process; neurotransmitter catabolic process; and post-embryonic development. Located in mitochondrion. Used to study epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency. Orthologous to human ALDH5A1 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 5 family member A1).
