It plays a role in a pathway of 9-cis-retinoic acid biosynthesis in vivo. This enzyme converts 9-cis-retinal into the retinoid X receptor ligand 9-cis-retinoic acid, and has approximately 40-fold higher activity with 9-cis-retinal than with all-trans-retinal. Therefore, it is the first known aldehyde dehydrogenase to show a preference for 9-cis-retinal relative to all-trans-retinal. Three transcript variants encoding distinct protein isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]. * **UniProt Summary**: Converts 9-cis-retinal to 9-cis-retinoic acid. Has lower activity towards 13-cis-retinal. Has much lower activity towards all-trans-retinal. Has highest activity with benzaldehyde and decanal (in vitro). Has a preference for NAD, but shows considerable activity with NADP (in vitro). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11007799}. |Aldedh| |aminomuconate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase activity| |L-kynurenine catabolic process| |9-cis-retinoic acid biosynthetic process| |9-cis-retinoic acid metabolic process| |L-kynurenine metabolic process| |retinoic acid biosynthetic process| |retinal dehydrogenase activity| |diterpenoid biosynthetic process| |ketone catabolic process| |kynurenine metabolic process| |retinal metabolic process| |terpenoid biosynthetic process| |benzene-containing compound metabolic process| |isoprenoid biosynthetic process| |retinoic acid metabolic process| |cellular aldehyde metabolic process| |cellular ketone metabolic process| |retinoid metabolic process| |alpha-amino acid catabolic process| |diterpenoid metabolic process| |terpenoid metabolic process| |cellular hormone metabolic process| |cellular amino acid catabolic process| |isoprenoid metabolic process| |monocarboxylic acid biosynthetic process| |hormone metabolic process| |alpha-amino acid metabolic process| |carboxylic acid catabolic process| |organic acid catabolic process| |carboxylic acid biosynthetic process| |organic acid biosynthetic process| |cellular amino acid metabolic process| |small molecule catabolic process| |aromatic compound catabolic process| |organic cyclic compound catabolic process| |drug metabolic process| |monocarboxylic acid metabolic process| |regulation of hormone levels| |lipid biosynthetic process| |small molecule biosynthetic process| |carboxylic acid metabolic process| |cellular lipid metabolic process| |oxidation-reduction process| |oxoacid metabolic process| |organic acid metabolic process| |organonitrogen compound catabolic process| |lipid metabolic process| |small molecule metabolic process| |organic substance catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp416|Tubacin 1.6μM R07 exp416]]|-1.74| |[[:results:exp95|BI-2536 0.0042μM R03 exp95]]|-1.73| |[[:results:exp439|QNZ 0.01μM R08 exp439]]|1.7| |[[:results:exp525|Sulforaphane 9μM R08 exp525]]|1.79| |[[:results:exp492|iCRT14 30μM R08 exp492]]|1.82| |[[:results:exp460|BML-284 0.09μM R08 exp460]]|1.88| |[[:results:exp443|SNS-032 15μM R08 exp443]]|2| |[[:results:exp466|Cannabidiol 20μM R08 exp466]]|2.6| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
