OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the alcohol dehydrogenase family. The encoded protein is the alpha subunit of class I alcohol dehydrogenase, which consists of several homo- and heterodimers of alpha, beta and gamma subunits. Alcohol dehydrogenases catalyze the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes. This gene is active in the liver in early fetal life but only weakly active in adult liver. This gene is found in a cluster with six additional alcohol dehydrogenase genes, including those encoding the beta and gamma subunits, on the long arm of chromosome 4. Mutations in this gene may contribute to variation in certain personality traits and substance dependence. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ADH1A as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ADH1A could matter depends on whether native ADH1A is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ADH1A is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label ADH1A as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
