Summary

Protein Function

Aldose reductase is a member of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) superfamily (AKR1B1). It catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of a broad spectrum of substrates that range from simple aromatic aldehydes and steroid carbonyls to aldo-keto sugars. The wide substrate specificity of AR suggests that the enzyme may be involved in detoxification of endogenous and xenobiotic aldehydes. (PMID: 18223294)
