Background
| Function | FUNCTION: [Isoform 1]: Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of a variety of carbonyl substrates, like aromatic aldehydes, alkenals, ketones and alpha-dicarbonyl compounds (PubMed:26222439, PubMed:21276782). In addition, catalyzes the reduction of androgens and estrogens with high positional selectivity (shows 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity) as well as 3-keto-acyl-CoAs (PubMed:25577493). Displays strong enzymatic activity toward all-trans-retinal and 9-cis-retinal (PubMed:26222439). May play a physiological role in retinoid metabolism (PubMed:26222439). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21276782, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25577493, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26222439}.; FUNCTION: [Isoform 2]: No oxidoreductase activity observed with the tested substrates. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25577493}. |
| Pathway | |
| Protein Families | Aldo/keto reductase family |
| Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed. Expressed at highest levels in steroid-sensitive tissues, such as placenta, testis and adipose tissue. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25577493}. |
