Sexual Differentiation in the Induction of the Class 3 Aldehyde Dehydrogenase

  • Chapter
Enzymology and Molecular Biology of Carbonyl Metabolism 4

Abstract

Various xenobiotics, also known for their ability to induce a number of different cytochrome P-450 isozymes, can increase the activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH, EC 1.2.1.3) in the soluble fraction of rat liver (Deitrich, 1971; Marselos and Haninnen, 1974). It is well known that this induction involves at least two different isozymes which, depending on the type of the inducer, selectively react (Deitrich et al., 1977; Marselos et al., 1979).
