Alcohol dehydrogenase 4 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ADH4 gene.[5]

This gene encodes class II

chromosome 4 in the cluster of alcohol dehydrogenase genes.[5]

There is evidence that ancestors of modern humans developed the ADH4 producing gene some 10 million years ago. This probably helped them to take advantage of rotting fruit as they shifted to a terrestrial lifestyle.[6]
