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]. * **<color #00a2e8>UniProt Summary</color>**: 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}. <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='Pfam_Domains'>Pfam Domains</button> <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='GO_terms'>GO Terms</button> <modal id='Pfam_Domains' size='lg' title='Pfam Domains'> |Aldedh| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |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| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='default' size='small' modal='Most_Correlated_Genes'>Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Essential_Avana'>Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)</button> <modal id='Compound_Hit' size='lg' title='Compound Hit'> ^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| </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics. </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 9505 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: 1.8 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='ALDH8A1 Expression in NALM6 Cells: 1.8'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2025/12/10 20:19by 127.0.0.1
