Alcohol dehydrogenase, iron containing 1
Alcohol dehydrogenase, iron containing 1 (also known as ADHFE1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ADHFE1 gene. This protein is part of the alcohol dehydrogenase family of proteins, which metabolize a wide variety of substrates, including lipids, retinol, ethanol, and other small molecules.
Function[edit | edit source]
ADHFE1 is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction of an alcohol into an aldehyde or ketone by removing a hydrogen atom. This process is known as oxidation. The enzyme is iron-dependent, meaning it requires iron to function properly.
Structure[edit | edit source]
The ADHFE1 protein is composed of 548 amino acids and has a molecular weight of approximately 60 kDa. The protein structure includes a catalytic domain and an iron-binding domain, which is essential for its enzymatic activity.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
Mutations in the ADHFE1 gene have been associated with hyperglycinemia, a rare metabolic disorder characterized by high levels of glycine in the body.
