Species: Homo sapiens
About AKR1C2
This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 463 orthologues, 16 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Biased expression in fat (RPKM 84.8), liver (RPKM 37.2) and 10 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known Enzymes and proteins. These Enzymes catalyze the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols using NADH and/or NADPH as cofactors. The Enzymes display overlapping but distinct substrate specificity. This enzyme binds bile acid with high affinity, and shows minimal 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity. This gene shares high sequence identity with three Other gene members and is clustered with those three genes at chromosome 10p15-p14. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
