ketoreductase

Gene Summary

Enables ketoreductase activity. Involved in fatty acid elongation; sphingolipid biosynthetic process; and very long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Used to study cancer; gynecomastia; polycystic kidney disease; and pseudohermaphroditism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 17-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 deficiency and disorder of sexual development. Orthologous to several human genes including HSD17B12 (hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 12) and HSDL1 (hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase like 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
