OverviewNCBI Gene

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the alcohol dehydrogenase family. Members of this enzyme family metabolize a wide variety of substrates, including ethanol, retinol, other aliphatic alcohols, hydroxysteroids, and lipid peroxidation products. This encoded protein, consisting of several homo- and heterodimers of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits, exhibits high activity for ethanol oxidation and plays a major role in ethanol catabolism. Three genes encoding alpha, beta and gamma subunits are tandemly organized in a genomic segment as a gene cluster. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads ADH1B as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against ADH1B could matter depends on whether native ADH1B is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

ADH1B 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 ADH1B as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
