ADH1B (All-trans-retinol dehydrogenase [NAD(+)] ADH1B) is an enzyme. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Oesophageal cancer. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Catalyses the NAD-dependent oxidation of all-trans-retinol and its derivatives such as all-trans-4-hydroxyretinol and may participate in retinoid metabolism. In vitro can also catalyse the NADH-dependent reduction of all-trans-retinal and its derivatives such as all-trans-4-oxoretinal. Catalyses in the oxidative direction with higher efficiency. Has the same affinity for all-trans-4-hydroxyretinol and all-trans-4-oxoretinal. Location: Cytoplasm (UniProt). Locus 4q23 (HGNC).
