Claim: ADH1B encodes a protein in the alcohol dehydrogenase family, which metabolizes a wide variety of substrates.
Evidence: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the alcohol dehydrogenase family. Members of this enzyme family metabolize a wide variety of substrates, including ethanol (beverage alcohol), retinol, other aliphatic alcohols, hydroxysteroids, and lipid peroxidation products.
