Peroxisomal ALDH3A2-2 (fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase family 3 member A2, isoform 2) catalyzes the NAD-dependent dehydrogenation of pristanal to form pristanate (Jansen et al. 2001; Kelson et al. 1997; Rizzo et al. 2001). Structural studies suggest that the enzyme is a homodimer (Keller et al. 2010), and expression studies of the homologous mouse proteins in cultured cells indicate that ALDH3A2 isoform 2 is localized to peroxisomes while isoform 1 is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (Ashibe et al. 2007).
