aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A3
Alias
ALDH1A6 | ALDH6 | MCOP8 | RALDH3
This gene encodes an aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme that uses retinal as a substrate. Mutations in this gene have been associated with microphthalmia, isolated 8, and expression changes have also been detected in tumor cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2014].
