“…These PTMs include oxidation, disulfide formation, S-nitrosylation, nitration, phosphorylation, acetylation, carbonylation, protein adduct formation, and many others Song, Akbar, et al, 2014). For instance, mitochondrial ALDH2 could be inactivated through various PTMs in experimental models exposed to alcohol (Doorn, Hurley, & Petersen, 2006;Moon et al, 2006;Venkatraman, Landar, Davis, Ulasova, et al, 2004) and other potentially toxic substances Banfi et al, 1994;Landin, Cohen, & Khairallah, 1996;Lee, Liao, et al, 2013;Mali et al, 2014;Méndez et al, 2014;Mitchell & Petersen, 1988;Moon, Kim, & Song, 2005;Moon, Lee, & Song, 2010;Moon, Upreti, et al, 2008). Decreased activity could result from decreased ALDH2 protein levels, as reported in alcoholexposed rats (Venkatraman, Landar, Davis, Chamlee, et al, 2004) and highfat-exposed mice (Eccleston et al, 2011).…”
