Alcohol dehydrogenase 1A, also known as ADH1A, belongs to the alcohol dehydrogenase family. ADH1 is a monomorphic and predominant in fetal and infant livers, becoming less active in gestation and only weakly active during adulthood. ADH1A plays a major role in ethanol metabolism. With the coenzyme NAD, ADH catalyzes the reversible conversion of organic alcohols to ketones or aldehydes. The physiologic function for ADH1A in the liver is the removal of ethanol formed by microorganisms in the intestinal tract.
