Description

aldo-keto reductase family 1, member B8

Gene 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 (NAD+) activity. Predicted to be involved in polyol metabolic process; retinal metabolic process; and retinol metabolic process. Predicted to be located in extracellular region and lysosome. Predicted to be active in cytosol and mitochondrion. 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, Jun 2025]
