Gene nameAKR7A2
Protein nameAflatoxin B1 aldehyde reductase member 2 (EC 1.1.1.n11) (AFB1 aldehyde reductase 1) (AFB1-AR 1) (Aldoketoreductase 7) (Succinic semialdehyde reductase) (SSA reductase)
Aldo-keto reductase family 7, member A2 (Aflatoxin aldehyde reductase) (Epididymis secretory sperm binding protein Li 166mP)
Aldo-keto reductase family 7 member A2
SynonymsAFAR1
HEL-S-166mP
AFAR
AKR7
hCG_40469
DescriptionFUNCTION: Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of succinic semialdehyde to gamma-hydroxybutyrate. May have an important role in producing the neuromodulator gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB). Has broad substrate specificity. Has NADPH-dependent aldehyde reductase activity towards 2-carboxybenzaldehyde, 2-nitrobenzaldehyde and pyridine-2-aldehyde (in vitro). Can reduce 1,2-naphthoquinone and 9,10-phenanthrenequinone (in vitro). Can reduce the dialdehyde protein-binding form of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) to the non-binding AFB1 dialcohol. May be involved in protection of liver against the toxic and carcinogenic effects of AFB1, a potent hepatocarcinogen. .
