Enables benzaldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity; identical protein binding activity; and retinal dehydrogenase activity. Involved in several processes, including estrous cycle; maintenance of lens transparency; and retinoic acid metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human ALDH1A1 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
