Description

Enables 3-chloroallyl aldehyde dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in aldehyde metabolic process. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including fin; heart; liver; musculature system; and pleuroperitoneal region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol dependence; alcohol use disorder; artery disease (multiple); diabetes mellitus (multiple); and liver disease (multiple). Orthologous to human ALDH2 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 family member).
