Summary
Enables all-trans-retinol dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral response to ethanol; ethanol catabolic process; and retinoid metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including endocrine gland; epidermis; genitourinary system; intestine; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence; late onset Parkinson's disease; and pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to several human genes including ADH1A (alcohol dehydrogenase 1A (class I), alpha polypeptide) and ADH1B (alcohol dehydrogenase 1B (class I), beta polypeptide).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
