Asian Glow Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2)

Acetaldehyde accumulates in ALDH2-deficient individuals. Ethanol is


first converted to a toxic intermediate, acetaldehyde, by ADH, then
converted to acetate by wild type ALDH2*1. The mutant form,
ALDH2*2, cannot fully convert acetaldehyde into acetate, and toxic
acetaldehyde accumulates as a result.
