DOPAL is an aldehyde product of the oxidative deamination of dopamine by monoamine oxidase.{29866} It can be further oxidized to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) by aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and, to a lesser extent reduced to 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl ethanol (DOPET; Item No. 70604). DOPAL is toxic to neurons.{29865,29867} It can also oligomerize and precipitate ?-synuclein, an event associated with Parkinson’s disease.{29865} Mice lacking cytosolic and mitochondrial forms of ALDH display increased levels of DOPAL as well as neurodegeneration and motor dysfunction characteristic of Parkinson’s disease.{29868}
