An Alcohol Dehydrogenase 3 (ADH3) from <i>Entamoeba histolytica</i> Is Involved in the Detoxification of Toxic Aldehydes

Recently, a putative alcohol dehydrogenase 3, termed EhADH3B of the <i>Entamoeba histolytica</i> isolate HM-1:IMSS was identified, which is expressed at higher levels in non-pathogenic than in pathogenic amoebae and whose overexpression reduces the virulence of pathogenic amoebae. In an...
