説明

<jats:p>A principal pathway of 2‐methoxyethanol (ME) metabolism is to the toxic oxidative product, methoxyacetaldehyde (MALD). To assess the role of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) in MALD metabolism, in vitro MALD oxidation was examined with liver subcellular fractions from Japanese subjects who carried three different <jats:italic>ALDH2</jats:italic> genotypes and <jats:italic>Aldh2</jats:italic> knockout mice, which were generated in this study. The activity was distributed in mitochondrial fractions of <jats:italic>ALDH2*1/*1</jats:italic> and wild type (<jats:italic>Aldh2</jats:italic>+/+) mice but not <jats:italic>ALDH2*1/*2</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>*2/*2</jats:italic> subjects or <jats:italic>Aldh2</jats:italic> homozygous mutant (<jats:italic>Aldh2</jats:italic>−/−) mice. These data suggest that ALDH2 is a key enzyme for MALD oxidation and ME susceptibility may be influenced by the <jats:italic>ALDH2</jats:italic> genotype.</jats:p>
