AKR1A1 blocking peptide

This gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 4 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 211]
