Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.0.0)
Enables alcohol dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity and estradiol 17-beta-dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity. Involved in estrogen biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of mRNA splicing, via spliceosome and steroid metabolic process. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; liver and biliary system; lung; metanephros; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46,XY sex reversal 8; B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma; T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia; alcohol dependence; and leukemia. Orthologous to several human genes including AKR1C1 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C1); AKR1C3 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3); and AKR1C4 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C4).
