About Akr1c18

Summary

Enables 17-alpha,20-alpha-dihydroxypregn-4-en-3-one dehydrogenase activity. Acts upstream of or within parturition and progesterone catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; female reproductive system; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46,XY sex reversal 8; B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma; T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia; and leukemia. Orthologous to several human genes including AKR1C1 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C1); AKR1C2 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C2); and AKR1C3 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3).
