Description |
NAD(P)-binding Rossmann-fold superfamily protein |
| Gene Summary |
encodes a progesterone-5beta-reductase-like protein. It has enone reductase activity against a wide range of substrates, including 3-oxo-Delta-4,5-steroids in vitro. The in vivo substrates and product of this enzyme have not yet been elucidated but it is likely to participate in steroid metabolism. The protein contains a mammalian death domain involved in programmed cell death. The gene is expressed in the vascular system and mutants carrying a dominant mutation in the gene have defective vascular patterning. VEP1 gene expression is induced specifically by wounding. |
