Target Name
AKR1A1
Target Full Name
Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member A1
Target Function
Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of a wide variety of carbonyl-containing compounds to their corresponding alcohols. Displays enzymatic activity towards endogenous metabolites such as aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, ketones, monosaccharides and bile acids, with a preference for negatively charged substrates, such as glucuronate and succinic semialdehyde. Functions as a detoxifiying enzyme by reducing a range of toxic aldehydes. Reduces methylglyoxal and 3-deoxyglucosone, which are present at elevated levels under hyperglycemic conditions and are cytotoxic. Involved also in the detoxification of lipid-derived aldehydes like acrolein. Plays a role in the activation of procarcinogens, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon trans-dihydrodiols, and in the metabolism of various xenobiotics and drugs, including the anthracyclines doxorubicin (DOX) and daunorubicin (DAUN). Displays no reductase activity towards retinoids.
Target Subcellular Location
Cytoplasm, cytosol. Apical cell membrane.
Target Protein Families
Aldo/keto reductase family
Target Tissue Specificity
Widely expressed. Highly expressed in kidney, salivary gland and liver. Detected in trachea, stomach, brain, lung, prostate, placenta, mammary gland, small intestine and lung.
Target Synonyms
AK1A1_HUMAN; Akr1a1; Alcohol dehydrogenase [NADP+]; Alcohol dehydrogenase; Aldehyde reductase; Aldo keto reductase family 1 member A1 (aldehyde reductase); Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member A1; ALDR1; ALR; ARM; DD3; MGC12529; MGC1380
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, also known as aldehyde reductase, is involved in the reduction of biogenic and xenobiotic aldehydes and is present in virtually every tissue. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene exist, all encoding the same protein.
