Oxidizes medium and long chain saturated and unsaturated fatty aldehydes generated in the plasma membrane into non-toxic fatty acids (PubMed:17382292, PubMed:23721920). May have a protective role against the cytotoxicity induced by lipid peroxidation (PubMed:17382292). Short-chain fatty aldehydes are not good substrates (PubMed:17382292). Can use both NADP(+) and NAD(+) as electron acceptor in vitro, however in vivo preference will depend on their tissue levels (PubMed:17382292). Low activity towards acetaldehyde and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (PubMed:17382292, PubMed:23721920). Able to metabolize aromatic aldehydes such as benzaldehyde to their acid form (PubMed:17382292).
