Catalyzes the reduction of acetaldehyde using NADH as reductant. Requires zinc for activity. Dimer. Anaerobic response polypeptide (ANP). Fermentation. The protein undergoes thiolation following treatment with the oxidant tert-butylhydroperoxide.
Encodes a glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (also known as class III type alcohol dehydrogenase) reduces S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), the condensation product of glutathione and NO, that is a naturally occurring NO reservoir and also a reactive nitrogen intermediate. Gene expression is reduced by wounding and induced by salicylic acid. Is required for the acclimation of plants to high temperature and for fertility.

A novel protein, did not show high similarity to any protein of known function; reveals a novel genetic connection between lipid synthesis and embryo development. Expressed in all tissues examined including leaves, flowers, roots, stems, and siliques, but accumulation levels were not correlated with the degree to which different organs appeared affected by the mutation. Mutant plants showed alterations in the cuticular wax profiles and embryo development.
