Title: AKR7A5 knockout promote acute liver injury by inducing inflammatory response, oxidative stress and apoptosis in mice.
These findings indicate the importance of AKR7A5 in protecting cells from the damaging effects of oxidative stress, and that this cytoprotective function is carried out through multiple pathways.
Title: Aldo-keto reductase 7A5 (AKR7A5) attenuates oxidative stress and reactive aldehyde toxicity in V79-4 cells.
AKR7A5 has selective substrate specificity towards naphthoquinone derivatives, suggesting that the aldo-keto reductase could play an important role in metabolism of certain naphthoquinone derivatives.

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.
