Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable NAD-retinol dehydrogenase activity; androstan-3-alpha,17-beta-diol dehydrogenase activity; and androsterone dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of retinoic acid biosynthetic process; retinoid metabolic process; and steroid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in urinary system. Orthologous to human RDH16 (retinol dehydrogenase 16).
