Overview of Gene Research
Adh5, also known as alcohol dehydrogenase 5 (class III), chi polypeptide and S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR), is a key enzyme that metabolizes S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) to regulate cellular S-nitrosothiol (SNO) levels. It is involved in multiple biological pathways, including innate immune responses, metabolic homeostasis, and nitroso-redox regulation. Its functions are crucial for maintaining normal physiological states in the body, and genetic models such as gene knockout mice can help in understanding its roles in detail [1,2].
In innate immunity, Adh5 deficiency leads to defective STING-dependent immune responses upon microbial challenge and facilitates viral replication, as Adh5 normally facilitates STING activation by inhibiting its S-nitrosylation [1]. In brown adipose tissue, loss of Adh5 impairs cold-induced UCP1-dependent thermogenesis and worsens obesity-associated metabolic dysfunction, indicating its importance in metabolic homeostasis [2]. In a zebrafish model of Fanconi anemia, disruption of Adh5 in fancd2 -/- zebrafish led to a reduction in body size and a lower number of mature spermatozoa, while overexpression of human ADH5 partially recovered spermatogenesis progress, suggesting its potential role in treating Fanconi anemia [3].
In conclusion, Adh5 plays essential roles in innate immune responses, metabolic regulation, and may be involved in the pathophysiology of diseases like Fanconi anemia. Gene knockout models, such as Adh5-deficient mice and zebrafish, have significantly contributed to understanding its functions in these specific biological processes and disease conditions, providing insights into potential therapeutic targets for related diseases.
