The ADH5 protein catalyzes the oxidation of long-chain primary alcohols and S- (hydroxymethyl) glutathione. It also oxidizes long-chain omega-hydroxy fatty acids, producing intermediate aldehydes and end products. However, it is ineffective in oxidizing ethanol. ADH5 is crucial for clearing cytotoxic formaldehyde, which causes DNA damage. ADH5 Protein, Human is the recombinant human-derived ADH5 protein, expressed by E. coli , with no tag.
