Aldo-keto reductase family 1, member A1

Alcohol dehydrogenase [NADP+] also known as aldehyde reductase or aldo-keto reductase family 1 member A1 is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in humans is encoded by the AKR1A1 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This is_associated_with::gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known is_associated_with::enzymes and is_associated_with::proteins. This member, also known as is_associated_with::aldehyde reductase, is involved in the reduction of is_associated_with::biogenic and is_associated_with::xenobiotic aldehydes and is present in virtually every tissue. is_associated_with::Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding the same is_associated_with::protein.
