Gene:
aldo-keto reductase family 1, member A1 (aldehyde reductase)
Gene ID:
190208
Symbol:
AKR1A1
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. This member, also known as aldehyde reductase, is involved in the reduction of biogenic and xenobiotic aldehydes and is present in virtually every tissue. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding the same protein.
