Chemical compound and disease context of Adh5

 

Biological context of Adh5

 

Anatomical context of Adh5

  • ADH-C2 appeared in the mature epididymis whereas ADH-B2 exhibited no major changes in activity in testis and epididymis during development [13].
  • ADH isozymes were differentially distributed in these tissues of C3H/He mice; ADH-B2 was observed in all tissues and testis cellular preparations examined; ADH-C2 was localized predominantly in the epididymis but was also present in the seminal vesicles, coagulating gland, and prostate gland [13].
 

Associations of Adh5 with chemical compounds

  • We report that, following allergen challenge, wild-type mice exhibiting airway hyperresponsivity have increased airway levels of the enzyme GSNO reductase (GSNOR) and are depleted of lung S-nitrosothiols (SNOs) [14].
  • Similarly, immunodepletion with anti-FDH antibody does not remove the endogenous methylating activity for hypomethylated proteins present in extracts from adenosine dialdehyde-treated RAT1 cells [8].
  • Normal mice oxidized low doses of [(14)C]sodium formate (ip 5 mg/kg) to (14)CO(2) at approximately twice the rate of homozygous NEUT2 mice, indicating the presence of another formate-oxidizing system in addition to FDH [9].
 

Other interactions of Adh5

  • Ontogenetic analyses demonstrated that ADH-B2 is present throughout development from late fetal stages in stomach, liver, and kidney; similar results were found for ADH-C2 in developing kidney and stomach extracts, whereas ADH-A2 exhibited high activity in liver extracts after 3 weeks of age in both sexes and in male kidney extracts after 6 weeks [15].
  • Electrophoretic and activity variants of ADH-C2 among inbred strains of mice have been used to localise the gene encoding this enzyme (Adh-3) and a closely linked temporal locus (Adh-3-t) on chromosome 3 of this organism [16].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Adh5

  • Northern blot analysis using gene-specific probes provided evidence that psi Adh-2 does not produce a mRNA in either liver or kidney, whereas Adh-2 does [1].
