Aldehyde dehydrogenase dimeric NADP-preferring is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ALDH3A1 gene.Aldehyde dehydrogenases oxidize various aldehydes to the corresponding acids. They are involved in the detoxification of alcohol-derived acetaldehyde and in the metabolism of corticosteroids biogenic amines neurotransmitters and lipid peroxidation. The enzyme encoded by this gene forms a cytoplasmic homodimer that preferentially oxidizes aromatic aldehyde substrates.
