Protein function (UniProt)

Alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde dehydrogenase

Aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme that mediates important protective effects (PubMed:16491085, PubMed:20207735, PubMed:20554659, PubMed:21338592, PubMed:25554827, PubMed:31302938, PubMed:31652343, PubMed:38604394, PubMed:40233740). Protects cells from oxidative stress by metabolizing a number of lipid peroxidation-derived aldehydes (PubMed:16491085, PubMed:20207735, PubMed:21338592, PubMed:40233740). Involved in cellular defense against hyperosmotic stress by metabolizing betaine aldehyde to betaine, an important cellular osmolyte and methyl donor (PubMed:20207735)
