NCIt definition : Human ALDH5A1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 6p22.3 and is approximately
42 kb in length. This allele, which encodes succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase,
mitochondrial protein, plays a role in the metabolism of glutamate, succinate and
gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Mutations in the gene are associated with succinic
semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency.;
