Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including NADP binding activity; geranylgeranyl reductase activity; and oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-OH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor. Predicted to be involved in polyol metabolic process; retinal metabolic process; and retinol metabolic process. Predicted to be located in extracellular region; lysosome; and mitochondrion. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; ear; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to several human genes including AKR1B10 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
