We demonstrate increased mitochondrial carbonylation in GSTA4-4 KO mice chronically fed EtOH.
Using LC-MS we identify 829 total carbonylated proteins (417 novel to murine ALD).
Pathway analysis revealed a propensity for adduction of fatty acid metabolic and electron transport proteins.
Using MS/MS, 26 novel adducted peptides were identified.
Reactive aldehyde modification of proteins contributes to pathogenesis of ALD.
