| Function | Oxidizes medium and long chain saturated and unsaturated aldehydes. Metabolizes also benzaldehyde. Low activity towards acetaldehyde and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde. May not metabolize short chain aldehydes. May use both NADP(+) and NAD(+) as cofactors. May have a protective role against the cytotoxicity induced by lipid peroxidation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17382292, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23721920}. |
| Subcellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23721920}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23721920}. Note=Primarily in the plasma membrane as well as in some punctate structures in the cytoplasm. |
| Tissue Specificity | Highest expression in kidney and lung. |
| Top Pathways | Chemical carcinogenesis, Glycolysis / Gluconeogenesis, Drug metabolism - cytochrome P450, Metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450, Tyrosine metabolism |
