ALDH3B2 (aldehyde dehydrogenase family 3 member B2), associated with cytosolic lipid droplets, catalyzes the NAD-dependent oxdidation of HXAL (hexadecanal) to PALM (palmitate). A geranylgeranylated cysteine residue mediates the enzyme's association with the lipid droplet (Kitamura et al. 2013, 2015).
