GENE - CHEMICAL INTERACTIONS REPORT

RGD ID: 69220
Species: Homo sapiens
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: ALDH2
Name: aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 family member
Acc ID: CHEBI:25879
Term: pentaerythritol tetranitrate
Definition: A pentaerythritol nitrate in which all four hydroxy groups of pentaerythritol have been converted to the corresponding nitrate ester. It is a vasodilator with properties similar to those of glyceryl trinitrate, but with a more prolonged duration of action, and is used for treatment of angina pectoris. It is also one of the most powerful high explosives known and is a component of the plastic explosive known as Semtex.
Chemical ID: MESH:D010417
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
