title: [Human gastric alcohol dehydrogenase].
abstract: A new form of alcohol dehydrogenase (class IV), designated mu-ADH or sigma-ADH, was identified in human stomach mucosa. We report here the enzymatic properties and molecular characterization of this human class IV and her contribution in ethanol and other biological substances metabolism.
