Answer:
Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is an enzyme required to eliminate toxins such as acetaldehyde and alcohol, thereby mutations in this protein may be associated with the Alcohol flush syndrome (AFS)
Explanation:
ALDH2 is a protein required for ATP generation by catalyzing the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids (i.e., oxidation of NADH to NAD+). Mutations in the ALDH2 gene have been associated with the inactive form of this enzyme, and this specific mutation at position 487 alters its enzymatic activity associated with the metabolism of acetaldehyde and alcohol. This amino acid substitution may lead to the active site-directed inactivation of the enzyme.
What following ? actually the cell will gain more water by diffusion and will let more sodium chloride ions in because they will move from high concentration to low concentration
Answer: Antimicrobial proteins.
Explanation:
Antimicrobial proteins are the type of proteins produced by the keratinocytes on the body surfaces. These proteins acts as the barrier and kills the microorganism which is trying to enter the body.
These are larger proteins containing more than 100 amino acids. They are often lytic in nature.
The cell membrane of the microbes is disrupted by the action of these amino acids or proteins on them.
