| Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 58810 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-OH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor. Involved in D-glucuronate catabolic process to D-xylulose 5-phosphate and cellular detoxification of aldehyde. Acts upstream of or within D-glucuronate catabolic process; L-ascorbic acid biosynthetic process; and aldehyde catabolic process. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is active in cytosol and synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human AKR1A1 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member A1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit increased osteoporosis in response to pregnancy or castration in the absence of dietary ascorbate. Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced asorbic acid levels and DL-glyceraldehyde, glucuronolactone and glucuronate reductase activity. [provided by MGI curators] |
