Adig [Search on AGR]
Homo sapiens ADIG/SMAF1 is an adipocyte-specific protein that plays a role in adipocyte differentiation (Kim et al., 2005 [PubMed 15567149]; Hong et al., 2005 [PubMed 16132694]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
TRS-TGA2-1 [Search on AGR]
Homo sapiens Hong et al. (1987) [PubMed 3648680] sequenced a human serine (UGA) tRNA by the dideoxysequencing method. The gene forms a typical cloverleaf structure with all appropriate conserved bases. It shows high nucleotide sequence homology with a previously sequenced serine tRNA (Yoo, 1984).[supplied by OMIM, Sep 2009]
TRS-TGA4-1 [Search on AGR]
Homo sapiens Hong et al. (1992) [PubMed 1549482] sequenced a human serine tRNA by the dideoxysequencing method. Sequence analysis revealed that the gene forms a typical cloverleaf structure with all appropriate conserved bases, and that the anticodon sequence is 5-prime-UGA-3-prime. The gene has no introns and its nucleotide sequence is highly homologous to those of previously characterized serine tRNAs.[supplied by OMIM, Sep 2009]
Aldh2 [Search on AGR]
Homo sapiens This protein belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family of proteins. Aldehyde dehydrogenase is the second enzyme of the major oxidative pathway of alcohol metabolism. Two major liver isoforms of aldehyde dehydrogenase, cytosolic and mitochondrial, can be distinguished by their electrophoretic mobilities, kinetic properties, and subcellular localizations. Most Caucasians have two major isozymes, while approximately 50% of East Asians have the cytosolic isozyme but not the mitochondrial isozyme. A remarkably higher frequency of acute alcohol intoxication among East Asians than among Caucasians could be related to the absence of a catalytically active form of the mitochondrial isozyme. The increased exposure to acetaldehyde in individuals with the catalytically inactive form may also confer greater susceptibility to many types of cancer. This gene encodes a mitochondrial isoform, which has a low Km for acetaldehydes, and is localized in mitochondrial matrix. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016]
