Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables alcohol dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral response to ethanol; ethanol catabolic process; and retinoid metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including endocrine gland; epidermis; genitourinary system; intestine; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence; late onset Parkinson's disease; and pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human ADH1A (alcohol dehydrogenase 1A (class I), alpha polypeptide); ADH1B (alcohol dehydrogenase 1B (class I), beta polypeptide); and ADH1C (alcohol dehydrogenase 1C (class I), gamma polypeptide).
