Aldehyde dehydrogenase X mitochondrial is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ALDH1B1 gene.This protein belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenases family of proteins. Aldehyde dehydrogenase is the second enzyme of the major oxidative pathway of alcohol metabolism. This gene does not contain introns in the coding sequence. The variation of this locus may affect the development of alcohol-related problems.
