A dual function of
alcohol dehydrogenase in Drosophila melanogaster.
Among the four isoenzymes analyzed, three namely esterase,
alcohol dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase showed a monomorphic electrophoresis profile among the hybrids and their respective parents (Fig.1) which is corroborated with the results of Salgado et al., (2006).
The first step of isopropyl alcohol in vivo metabolism also involves the enzyme
alcohol dehydrogenase, which converts it into acetone.
The genotypes for the
Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH2, ADH3) and Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) were determined through a collaborative study with The Indiana Alcohol Research Centre (ARC) of the Medicine Department of the University of Indiana using the TaqMan tests (Applied BioSystems, Foster City, CA).
Duplex polymerase chain reaction with confronting twopair primers (PCR-CTPP) for genotyping
alcohol dehydrogenase beta subunit (ADH2) and aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2).
It is an
alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitor and is marketed and distributed by Paladin Labs Inc.
When ethanol was present in adhesives in excess of 5 percent of the resin weight, excessive acetaldehyde may have been produced by enzyme
alcohol dehydrogenase as previously reported and may spread into the wood, whereupon the acetaldehyde may have been emitted mainly from the cross-sectional surface rather than the other sides.
Men also have higher levels of the enzyme
alcohol dehydrogenase.
Medical News Today reported that the focus of the study was investigating the heart health of people who carry a particular version of the gene "
alcohol dehydrogenase 1B" which codes for a protein that helps to break down alcohol more quickly than in non-carriers.
