Summary: Enables oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-OH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor. Involved in D-glucuronate catabolic process to D-xylulose 5-phosphate and cellular detoxification of aldehyde. Acts upstream of or within D-glucuronate catabolic process; L-ascorbic acid biosynthetic process; and aldehyde catabolic process. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is active in cytosol and synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human AKR1A1 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member A1). [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.
