Disease
[AL3A2_HUMAN] Sjogren-Larsson syndrome. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Function
[AL3A2_HUMAN] Catalyzes the oxidation of long-chain aliphatic aldehydes to fatty acids. Active on a variety of saturated and unsaturated aliphatic aldehydes between 6 and 24 carbons in length. Responsible for conversion of the sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) degradation product hexadecenal to hexadecenoic acid.[6]
