| Function | Aldehyde oxidase able to catalyze the oxidation of retinaldehyde into retinoate. Is responsible for the major all- trans-retinaldehyde-metabolizing activity in the Harderian gland, and contributes a significant amount of the same activity in the skin. Is devoid of pyridoxal-oxidizing activity, in contrast to the other aldehyde oxidases. Acts as a negative modulator of the epidermal trophism. May be able to oxidize a wide variety of aldehydes into their corresponding carboxylates and to hydroxylate azaheterocycles. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18981221}. |
| Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18981221}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in Harderian glands and sebaceous glands with detectable levels in the epidermis and other keratinized epithelia (at protein level). Detected in testis. The expression is 3 times greater in females than in males. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18981221, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23263164}. |
| Top Pathways | Tyrosine metabolism, Vitamin B6 metabolism, Nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, Retinol metabolism, Tryptophan metabolism |
