Summary: Enables alpha-aminoadipate acetyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within camera-type eye development; cartilage development; and pectoral fin development. Is expressed in several structures, including alar plate midbrain region; bone tissue; digestive system; musculature system; and nervous system. Used to study epilepsy and pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in early-onset vitamin B6-dependent epilepsy 4. Orthologous to human ALDH7A1 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 7 family member A1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

What's a GeneRIF?

Is impaired energy production a novel insight into the pathogenesis of pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy due to biallelic variants in ALDH7A1?
Title: Is impaired energy production a novel insight into the pathogenesis of pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy due to biallelic variants in ALDH7A1?
By using mass spectrometry techniques, we further explored the metabolic effect of aldh7a1 knockout. Impaired lysine degradation with accumulation of PDE biomarkers, B6 deficiency, and low gamma-aminobutyric acid levels were observed in the aldh7a1(-/-) larvae, which may play a significant role in the seizure phenotype and PDE pathogenesis.

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.
