Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable all-trans-retinol dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity. Predicted to be involved in retinol metabolic process and steroid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; liver; lung; and spleen. Used to study autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 13. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 13. Orthologous to human SDR9C7 (short chain dehydrogenase/reductase family 9C member 7).
