Summary
Enables alditol:NADP+ 1-oxidoreductase activity; glycerol dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity; and mRNA binding activity. Involved in cellular response to oxidative stress; glycerol to glycerone phosphate metabolic process; and pentose catabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arteriosclerosis; cataract; diabetic neuropathy; diabetic retinopathy; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human AKR1B1 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
