Background
This gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 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 2011],
Function
catalytic activity:An alcohol + NADP(+) = an aldehyde + NADPH.,function:Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of a variety of aldehydes to their corresponding alcohols.,similarity:Belongs to the aldo/keto reductase family.,subunit:Monomer.,
Protein name
Alcohol dehydrogenase [NADP(+)]
