This family of dehydrogenases act on aldehyde substrates. Members use NADP as a cofactor. The family includes the following members: The prototypical members are the aldehyde dehydrogenases EC:1.2.1.3. Succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase EC:1.2.1.16. Lactaldehyde dehydrogenase EC:1.2.1.22. Benzaldehyde dehydrogenase EC:1.2.1.28. Methylmalonate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase EC:1.2.1.27. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase EC:1.2.1.9. Delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase EC: 1.5.1.12. Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase EC:1.2.1.10. Glutamate-5-semialdehyde dehydrogenase EC:1.2.1.41. This family also includes omega crystallin, an eye lens protein from squid and octopus that has little aldehyde dehydrogenase activity.
