Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including ketosteroid monooxygenase activity; oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-OH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor; and retinal dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to jasmonic acid stimulus; glycoside metabolic process; and steroid metabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in gut endoderm; gut epithelium; hepatic primordium; pancreas epithelium; and pancreas primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46,XY sex reversal 8. Orthologous to human AKR1C4 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C4).
