Summary: Enables aldose reductase (NADPH) activity and cis-1,2-dihydro-1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene dehydrogenase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to peptide; inner medullary collecting duct development; and sorbitol biosynthetic process. Located in several cellular components, including Schmidt-Lanterman incisure; Schwann cell microvillus; and mast cell granule. Used to study allergic disease; cataract; diabetic neuropathy; and diabetic retinopathy. Biomarker of diabetic retinopathy; galactosemia; hepatocellular carcinoma; hyperglycemia; and hypokalemia. 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
