Human aldehyde dehydrogenase: kinetic identification of the isozyme for which biogenic aldehydes and acetaldehyde compete. 1986

A D MacKerell, and E E Blatter, and R Pietruszko

Michaelis constants and maximal velocities for phenylacetaldehyde (a metabolite of phenylethylamine), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (a metabolite of dopamine), 5-hydroxyindole acetaldehyde (a metabolite of serotonin), and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycolaldehyde (a metabolite of epinephrine and norepinephrine) have been determined for both cytoplasmic (E1) and mitochondrial (E2) isozymes of human liver aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.3). Kinetic constants with biogenic aldehydes have never been previously determined for individual homogeneous isozymes of aldehyde dehydrogenase from any species. Mathematical treatment of these constants suggests that competition with acetaldehyde during alcohol metabolism would severely inhibit dehydrogenation of biogenic aldehydes with the mitochondrial and not the cytoplasmic isozyme of human liver aldehyde dehydrogenase.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008930 Mitochondria, Liver Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion, an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix.
