    Summary
    Enables aldose reductase (NADPH) 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 several diseases, including 46,XY sex reversal 8; congenital bile acid synthesis defect 2; diabetic neuropathy; leukemia (multiple); and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including AKR1B1 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B) and AKR1B10 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 2024]
