NCIt definition : Human ALDH1B1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 9p11.1 and is approximately
6 kb in length. This allele, which encodes aldehyde dehydrogenase X, mitochondrial
protein, plays a role in the modulation of alcohol-derived acetaldehyde metabolism.;
NCIt note : The ALDH1B1 gene is a potential biomarker for colon cancer. (Biochemical and Biophysical
Research Communications. 2011; 405: 173-179.); Ensembl and HUGO report the ALDH1B1 gene in the vicinity of 9p13.2 and 9p13, respectively.;
