Summary
Enables steroid dehydrogenase activity. Involved in steroid catabolic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in head neurons; hypodermis; tail neurons; and terminal bulb. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 13; fundus albipunctatus; and night blindness. Orthologous to several human genes including DHRS9 (dehydrogenase/reductase 9); HSD17B6 (hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 6); and RDH5 (retinol dehydrogenase 5).
