| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables L-glucuronate reductase activity and aldose reductase (NADPH) activity. Involved in L-ascorbic acid biosynthetic process and fructose biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including metanephric collecting duct development; regulation of urine volume; and renal water homeostasis. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arteriosclerosis; cataract; diabetic neuropathy; diabetic retinopathy; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human AKR1B1 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in increased drinking, increased urination, and dilation of the renal tubules.
