About SDR16C5

Cytogenetic location: 8q12.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 8:56,300,005-56,320,175 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 232 orthologues and 25 paralogues. Biased expression in skin (RPKM 15.8), esophagus (RPKM 9.7) and 7 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the short-chain alcohol dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily of proteins and is involved in the oxidation of retinol to retinaldehyde. The encoded protein is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum and is predicted to contain three transmembrane helices, suggesting that it is an integral membrane protein. It recognizes all-trans-retinol and all-trans-retinaldehyde as substrates and exhibits a strong preference for NAD(+)/NADH as cofactors. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
