Biochemistry research- Studying metabolic pathways involving aldehydes. Enzyme assays- Used to measure aldehyde concentrations. Biocatalysis- Converts aldehydes into acids in green chemistry processes. Toxicology studies- Helps analyze detoxification of harmful aldehydes.

Its main role is to detoxify aldehydes and facilitate their conversion into less reactive carboxylic acids both in living systems and lab applications.

An enzyme isolated from yeast. Catalyzes the oxidation of aldehydes carboxylic acids using cofactors. Usually supplied as a lyophilized powder or solution for lab use.
