Summary
Enables L-glucuronate reductase activity and aldose reductase (NADPH) activity. Involved in L-ascorbic acid biosynthetic process and fructose biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including metanephric collecting duct development; regulation of urine volume; and renal water homeostasis. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arteriosclerosis; cataract; diabetic neuropathy; diabetic retinopathy; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human AKR1B1 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
