Long-chain-aldehyde dehydrogenase
Fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase (or Long-chain-aldehyde dehydrogenase) is an aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme that in human is encoded in the ALDH3A2 gene on chromosome 17. 
Aldehyde dehydrogenase enzymes function to remove toxic aldehydes that are generated by the metabolism of alcohol and by lipid peroxidation.
Structure.
The ALDH3A2 belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily and is a membrane-associated protein typically containing 485 residues. The mature protein functions as a dimer. The structure was resolved using X-ray crystallography
12 of which were found to be highly similar to proteins in the Red and Pig pathways based on sequence data. The proposed biosynthesis of tambjamine YP1 involves the incorporation of proline, malonyl Co-A, and serine in the synthesis of MBC.
AfaA is hypothesized to activate long-chain fatty acids while the predicted dehydrogenase, TamT, introduces a double bond into a fatty acyl side chain. It is presumed that TamH then carries out the reduction of the CoA-ester to form an aldehyde intermediate, followed by transamination
