Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable 3-oxo-5alpha-steroid 4-dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity and polyprenol reductase activity. Involved in dolichol-linked oligosaccharide biosynthetic process and polyprenol catabolic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early embryo; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system gland. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Kahrizi syndrome and congenital disorder of glycosylation Iq. Orthologous to human SRD5A3 (steroid 5 alpha-reductase 3).
