What Does ALDP Stand For?
ALDP stands for ALD Protein
ALDP, or ALD Protein, refers to a specific protein associated with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), a genetic disorder that affects the breakdown of very long-chain fatty acids. This protein plays a critical role in the transport of these fatty acids into peroxisomes, organelles responsible for their metabolism. Deficiencies in ALDP can lead to the accumulation of harmful fatty acids, resulting in neurological and adrenal dysfunction. Understanding ALDP is essential for developing potential therapies and interventions for affected individuals.
