Recombinant Human Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10 (AKR1B10)

Uniprot Id

O60218

Target Species

Human

Target Name

AKR1B10

Target Full Name

Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10

Target Function

Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of a wide variety of carbonyl-containing compounds to their corresponding alcohols. Displays strong enzymatic activity toward all-trans-retinal, 9-cis-retinal, and 13-cis-retinal. Plays a critical role in detoxifying dietary and lipid-derived unsaturated carbonyls, such as crotonaldehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal, trans-2-hexenal, trans-2,4-hexadienal and their glutathione-conjugates carbonyls (GS-carbonyls). Displays no reductase activity towards glucose.

Target Subcellular Location

Lysosome. Secreted. Note=Secreted through a lysosome-mediated non-classical pathway.

Target Protein Families

Aldo/keto reductase family

Target Tissue Specificity

Found in many tissues. Highly expressed in small intestine, colon and adrenal gland.

Target Research Area

Signal Transduction

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. This member can efficiently reduce aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes, and it is less active on hexoses. It is highly expressed in adrenal gland, small intestine, and colon, and may play an important role in liver carcinogenesis.
