Background and objectives. Though glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Gapdh) is one of the most commonly used housekeeping genes for comparison of gene expression data, studies have revealed that Gapdh expression is not constant at different developmental stages, and is modulated by many factors including ethanol. In view of this, in the present study, we investigated the effect of ethanol on Gapdh stability and expression levels in different model systems.
