“…ALDH enzymes are diverse in their function across all kingdoms of life, contributing to detoxification Esterbauer et al (1991), Kelson et al (1997), Choudhary et al (2005), Ho and Weiner (2005), Rodríguez-Zavala et al (2006), Marchitti et al (2007), Shin et al (2009), Jackson et al (2011), Ouyang et al (2020, biosynthesis Yoshida et al (1992), Mellema et al (2002), Kim et al (2015), Pequerul et al (2020), and non-enzymatic functions such as anti-oxidant Estey et al (2007), Lassen et al (2008), Marchitti et al (2011, Voulgaridou et al (2020), structural Piatigorsky (1998), Voulgaridou et al (2017) and regulatory mechanisms Moreb (2008), Vassalli (2019), Voulgaridou et al (2020) (Table 1). Proper function of these enzymes is essential for maintenance of cell function and survival, with prominent ALDH-linked diseases arising from mutation, catalytic knockout and structural disruption.…”
