**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human ALDH7A1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 5q23.2 and is approximately 64 kb in length. This allele, which encodes alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde dehydrogenase protein, is involved in the NAD(+)-dependent metabolism of lysine, betaine and toxic aldehydes. Mutations in the gene are associated with early-onset, vitamin B6-dependent epilepsy 4.
