| Function | Converts gamma-trimethylaminobutyraldehyde into gamma- butyrobetaine. Catalyzes the irreversible oxidation of a broad range of aldehydes to the corresponding acids in an NAD-dependent reaction. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10702312}. |
| Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. |
| Tissue Specificity | High expression in adult liver, skeletal muscle, and kidney. Low levels in heart, pancreas, lung and brain. Expressed in all regions of the brain. Expression levels are variable in the different brain areas, with the highest levels in the spinal cord and the lowest in the occipital pole. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8645224}. |
