AKR1D1 aldo-keto reductase family 1 member D1

Gene ID: 6718, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CBAS2; SRD5B1; 3o5bred

Summary

The enzyme encoded by this gene is responsible for the catalysis of the 5-beta-reduction of bile acid intermediates and steroid hormones carrying a delta(4)-3-one structure. Deficiency of this enzyme may contribute to hepatic dysfunction. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Other variants may be present, but their full-length natures have not been determined yet. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
