Summary: Predicted to enable geranylgeranyl reductase activity; oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-OH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor; and retinal dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in prostaglandin metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular lipid metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland and genitourinary system. Orthologous to several human genes including AKR1B10 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10).

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.
