The invention discloses a genetically engineered bacterium for expressing a human derived acetaldehyde dehydrogenase gene and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of gene engineering and enzyme. The ALDH2 gene efficient expression component Trp1L-URA3-TPIp-ALDH2-TPIt-Trp1R is integrated into the genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae W303-1A, the stability of gene expression is improved compared with free plasmid expression, a constitutive promoter is used, no induction agent is added during fermentation, and the product is relatively safe. When fermentation is performed for 96hours, the specific activity of producing acetaldehyde dehydrogenase reaches 0.97 U / mg. The specific activity of the producing acetaldehyde dehydrogenase reaches 6.256 U / mg in ethanol with the concentration of 250 mg / 100 mL, and the specific activity of the producing aldehyde dehydrogenase in a buffer with pH of 3 reaches 0.301 U / mg. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae is selected as a host strain, on the one hand, the activity of the enzyme is kept, on the other hand, product safety is improved, and a new approach and a theoretical basis are provided for the research and development of antialcoholicdrugs.
